3.2 Installation Media

The installation media contain all the necessary packages and meta information that is
necessary to install a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. These must be available to the
installation system after booting for installation. Several possibilities to provide the
installation media to the system are available with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
Installation CD or DVD
All necessary data is delivered on the boot media. Depending on the selected instal-
lation, if you install a CD version, several disk changes may be necessary.
Networked Installation
If you plan to install several systems, providing the installation media over the
network makes things a lot easier. It is possible to install from many common
protocols, such as NFS, HTTP, FTP, or SMB. For more information about how to
run such an installation, refer to Chapter 4, Remote Installation (↑Installation and
Administration).
