Replace product with an abbreviation of the product name and
productversion with a string that contains the product name and version.
3 For each CD contained in the media kit execute the following commands:
a Copy the entire content of the installation CD into the installation server
directory:
cp -a /media/path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive .
Replace path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive with the actual path under
which your CD or DVD drive is addressed. Depending on the type of drive
used in your system, this can be cdrom, cdrecorder, dvd, or
dvdrecorder.
b Rename the directory to the CD number:
mv path_to_your_CD-ROM_drive CDx
Replace x with the actual number of your CD.
On SUSE Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server you can export the installation
sources via NFS using YaST. Proceed as follows:
1 Log in as root.
2 Start YaST → Network Services → NFS Server.
3 Select Start NFS Server and Open Port in Firewall and click Next.
4 Select Add Directory and enter the path to the directory holding the installation
data. In this case, it is /productversion.
5 Select Add Host and enter the hostnames of the machines to which to export the
installation data. Instead of specifying hostnames here, you could also use wild
cards, ranges of network addresses, or just the domain name of your network.
Enter the appropriate export options or leave the default, which works fine in
most setups. For more information about the syntax used in exporting NFS shares,
read the exports man page.
6 Click Finish. The NFS server holding the SUSE Linux Enterprise installation
sources is automatically started and integrated into the boot process.
