If SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server should be installed on a number of systems or par-
titions, it is recommended to create a network installation source. This eliminates the
need to change CDs during the installation. The same source can also be used for the
concurrent installation on several partitions or several systems. The configuration of a
network installation source is described in Section 4.2.1, "Setting Up an Installation
Server Using YaST" (Chapter 4, Remote Installation, ↑Installation and Administration).
For eServer i5, System i5, and iSeries, a network installation source can be set up in a
special partition. See
for iSeries.
