3.3.2 Installing from the SUSE Linux
Enterprise Media
To install from the media, insert the first CD or DVD into the appropriate drive of the
system to install. Reboot the system to boot from the media and open the boot screen.
3.3.3 Installing from a Network Server Using
SLP
If your network setup supports OpenSLP and your network installation source has been
configured to announce itself via OpenSLP (described in Section 4.2, "Setting Up the
Server Holding the Installation Sources" (page 56)), boot the system from the media
or with another boot option. In the boot screen, select the desired installation option.
Press F4 then select SLP.
Description
This is the easiest boot option. This option can be used if the
system has a local CD/DVD-ROM drive that is supported by
Linux.
The images for generating boot floppies are located on CD/DVD
1 in the /boot directory. A README is available in the same
directory.
This must be supported by the system's BIOS or firmware and
a boot server must be available in the network. This task can also
be handled by another SUSE Linux Enterprise system.
SUSE Linux Enterprise can also be booted from the hard disk.
To do this, copy the kernel (linux) and the installation system
(initrd) from the directory /boot/loader on CD/DVD 1
to the hard disk and add the appropriate entry to the boot loader.
