3 Enter the IP address and the display number of the SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server installation system when prompted to do so.
If you connect via a Java-enabled browser, enter a URL containing the IP address
of the installation system and the appropriate port number in the format:

2.6.2 Initiating the Installation for the X
Window System
IMPORTANT: X Authentication Mechanism
The 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.
1 Make sure that the X server allows the client (the system that is installed) to
connect. Set the variable
DISPLAYMANAGER_XSERVER_TCP_PORT_6000_OPEN="yes" in the file
/etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. Then restart the X server and allow
client binding to the server using xhost <client IP address>.
2 When prompted at the installation system, enter the IP address of the machine
running the X server.
3 Wait until YaST opens then start the installation.
