Starting The Installation - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual

Create a network installation source if SUSE Linux Enterprise Server should be installed
on a number of partitions. This eliminates the need to change CDs during installation.
The same source can also be used for concurrent installation of various systems. The
configuration of the network installation source is described in
Up an Installation Server Using YaST"
