Installation with YaST
1.8.2 Network Configuration
Note
S/390, zSeries: Network Configuration
For IBM S/390 and zSeries platforms, a working network con-
nection is needed at installation time to connect to the target
system, the installation source, and the YaST terminal control-
ling the process. The steps to set up the network are discussed
in the network configuration chapter of the Architecture-Specific
Information manual. The S/390 and zSeries platforms only sup-
port the types of network interfaces mentioned in that chapter
(OSA Token Ring, OSA Ethernet, OSA Gigabit Ethernet, OSA
Express Fast Ethernet, Escon, IUCV, OSA Express High-Speed
Token Ring). The YaST dialog simply displays the interface with
its settings as previously configured. Just confirm this dialog to
continue.
Note
You can now configure the network connections of your system. If you
have such devices, it is a good idea to configure them now, because an In-
ternet connection allows YaST to retrieve any available SUSE LINUX up-
dates and to include them in the installation.
To configure your network hardware now, refer to the relevant parts of Sec-
tion 2.5 on page 89. Otherwise, select ‘Skip Network Setup’ and confirm
with ‘Continue’. The network hardware can also be configured after the
system installation has been completed.
