the network configuration, testing your Internet connection, activating the Online
Update service, selecting the user authentication method, and entering a username
and password).
For detailed instructions for installing SUSE Linux Enterprise, see Chapter 3,
Installation with YaST (page 17).
10.2.3 Updating to a Service Pack
There are two preferred ways to update the system to the Service Pack (SP) feature
level. One way is to boot from the SP medium. The alternative is to run YaST Online
Update or zen-updater and select the Update to Service Pack X patch. By updating to
the new feature level, additional features like new drivers or software enhancements
are available to your system.
WARNING: Do not miss the Update to Service Pack patch
If you do not select the Update to Service Pack patch, your system will stay at
the previous feature level and you will get bug fixes and security updates for
a limited time only (for SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP2 this period is now extended
to six months). Thus for ongoing system integrity it is recommended to switch
to the new feature level as early as possible.
Other update ways are running rug commands manually, using the Patch CD (see
Section 8.3.7, "Updating from a Patch CD" (page 144)), or making use of a locally in-
stalled SMT system.
NOTE
On s390 systems, the Patch CD update option is not available.
Booting from the SP Medium for the Update
Boot from the SP medium and choose Update as the installation mode in YaST. For
more detailed information and finishing the update, see Section 10.1.3, "Updating with
YaST" (page 213).
