Installation with YaST
Using X to Connect
When IPLing the installed system, make sure the X server used for the first
phase of the installation is still available. YaST opens on this X server to
finish the installation.
Using SSH to Connect
Note
S/390, zSeries: Connecting from a Linux or UNIX system
Start ssh in an xterm. Other terminal emulators lack complete
support for the text-based interface of YaST.
Note
A message in the 3270 terminal asks you to connect to the Linux system
with an SSH client. This message is easily missed, however, because it is
mixed with kernel messages and because the terminal process may quit
before you become aware of the message.
Now perform the following steps to complete the installation:
Use SSH to log into the Linux system as root If the connection is de-
nied or times out, wait a few minutes then try again.
Execute the following command:
/usr/lib/YaST2/bin/YaST2.sshinstall
yast does not suffice in this case.
After that, YaST starts to complete the installation of the remaining pack-
ages and to create an initial system configuration.
1.8 Finishing the Installation
After completing the basic system setup and the installation of all selected
software packages, provide a password for the account of the system ad-
ministrator (the root user). You can then configure your Internet access
and network connection. With a working Internet connection, you can per-
form an update of the system as part of the installation. If desired, also
configure a name server for centralized user administration in a local net-
work. Finally, you can round off the installation with the configuration of
the hardware devices connected to the machine.
