To perform this kind of installation, proceed as follows:
1 Set up the installation source as described in Section 4.2, "Setting Up the Server
Holding the Installation Sources" (page 56). Choose an NFS, HTTP, or FTP
network server. For an SMB installation source, refer to Section 4.2.5, "Managing
an SMB Installation Source" (page 64).
2 Boot the target system using the first CD or DVD of the SUSE Linux Enterprise
media kit.
3 When the boot screen of the target system appears, use the boot options prompt
to set the appropriate parameters for network connection, address of the installa-
tion source, and SSH enablement. This is described in detail in Section 4.4.3,
"Using Custom Boot Options" (page 78).
The target system boots to a text-based environment, giving the network address
under which the graphical installation environment can be addressed by any SSH
client.
4 On the controlling workstation, open a terminal window and connect to the target
system as described in Section "Connecting to the Installation Program"
(page 83).
5 Perform the installation as described in Chapter 3, Installation with YaST
(page 17). Reconnect to the target system after it reboots for the final part of the
installation.
6 Finish the installation.
4.1.5 Simple Remote Installation via
SSH—Dynamic Network Configuration
This type of installation still requires some degree of physical access to the target system
to boot for installation and determine the IP address of the installation target. The instal-
lation itself is entirely controlled from a remote workstation using VNC to connect to
the installer, but still requires user interaction for the actual configuration efforts.
