Central Software Installation and Update
Figure 4.1: YaST Installation Server: Selecting the Server Type
hNamei stands for the name of the installation source, which is de-
fined in the following step. If you have selected NFS in the previous
step, define wild cards and exports options. The NFS server will be
accessible under nfs://<Server-IP>/<Name>. Details of NFS and
exports can be found in Section 21.10.4 on page 512.
Configuring the Installation Source
Before the installation media are copied to their destination, define
the name of the installation source (ideally, an easily remembered
abbreviation of the product and version). YaST allows providing ISO
images of the media instead of copies of the SUSE LINUX CDs. If you
wish to take this route, activate the relevant check box and specify
the directory path under which the ISO files will be found locally.
Depending on which product to distribute using this installation
server, it may be that more add-on CDs or service pack CDs are
required to install the product completely. If you activate ‘Prompt for
Additional CDs’, YaST automatically reminds you to supply these
media. To announce your installation server in the network via SLP,
activate the relevant check box.
