1 Log in as root.
2 Enter the directory /etc/slp.reg.d/.

following lines:
# Register the NFS Installation Server
service:install.suse:nfs://$HOSTNAME/path_to_instsource/CD1,en,65535
description=NFS Installation Source
Replace path_to_instsource with the actual path to the installation source
on your server.
4 Save this configuration file and start the OpenSLP daemon with rcslpd start.
For more information about OpenSLP, refer to the package documentation located under
/usr/share/doc/packages/openslp/ or refer to Chapter 21, SLP Services
in the Network (↑Administration Guide). More Information about NFS is found in
Chapter 25, Sharing File Systems with NFS (↑Administration Guide).
11.2.3 Setting Up an FTP Installation Source

FTP installation sources can be announced over the network using OpenSLP as well.
1 Create a directory holding the installation sources as described in
"Setting Up an NFS Installation Source Manually"
2 Configure the FTP server to distribute the contents of your installation directory:
2a Log in as root and install the package vsftpd using the YaST package
manager.
