following lines:
# Register the NFS Installation Server

4.2.3 Setting Up an FTP Installation Source
Manually
Creating an FTP installation source is very similar to creating an NFS installation source.
FTP installation sources can be announced over the network using OpenSLP as well.
1 Create a directory holding the installation sources as described in
"Setting Up an NFS Installation Source Manually"
2 Configure the FTP server to distribute the contents of your installation directory:
2a Log in as root and install the package vsftpd using the YaST package
manager.
2b Enter the FTP server root directory:
cd /srv/ftp
2c Create a subdirectory holding the installation sources in the FTP root direc-
tory:
mkdir instsource
Replace instsource with the product name.
