1 Start the VNC viewer.
2 Enter the IP address and display number of the installation target as provided by
the SLP browser or the installation program itself:
ip_address:display_number
A window opens on your desktop displaying the YaST screens as in a normal
local installation.
Using a Web browser to connect to the installation program makes you totally indepen-
dent of any VNC software or the underlying operating system. As long as the browser
application has Java support enabled, you can use any browser (Firefox, Internet Ex-
plorer, Konqueror, Opera, etc.) to perform the installation of your Linux system.
To perform a VNC installation, proceed as follows:
1 Launch your preferred Web browser.
2 Enter the following at the address prompt:
http://ip_address_of_target:5801
3 Enter your VNC password when prompted to do so. The browser window now
displays the YaST screens as in a normal local installation.

Using SSH, you can remotely control the installation of your Linux machine using any

Preparing for SSH Installation
Apart from installing the appropriate software package (OpenSSH for Linux and PuTTY
for Windows), you just need to pass the appropriate boot options to enable SSH for
installation. See Section 4.4.3, "Using Custom Boot Options"
OpenSSH is installed by default on any SUSE Linux–based operating system.
