Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP1 - ARCHITECTURE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION 15-03-2007 Supplementary Manual page 46

If an ftp or smb URL is given, specify the user and password for installation.
These parameters are optional and an anonymous or guest login is assumed if they
are not given.
Username=<a user name>
Password=<a password>
For a Samba or CIFS installation, you can also specify the domain that should be
used:
Workdomain=<a domain>
UseSSH=1 , UseVNC=1 , Display_IP=192.168.42.42
Depending on which parameter you give, a remote X, SSH, or VNC server is used
for installation. UseSSH enables SSH installation, UseVNC starts a VNC server
on the installing machine, and Display_IP causes the installing system to try
to connect to an X server at the given address. Only one of these parameters should
be set at any time.
IMPORTANT: X Authentication Mechanism
Direct installation with the X Window System relies on a primitive authen-
tication mechanism based on hostnames. This mechanism is disabled on
current SUSE Linux Enterprise Server versions. Installation with SSH or VNC
is preferred.
To allow a connection between YaST and the remote X server, run xhost <IP
address> with the address of the installing machine on the remote machine.
For VNC, specify a password of six to eight characters to use for installation:
VNCPassword=<a password>
For SSH, specify a password of six to eight characters to use for installation:
SSHPassword=<a password>
