see Section “Choosing the Installation Media” (Chapter 1, Installation with YaST,
↑Start-Up).

When the boot screen of the target system appears, use the boot options prompt
to set the appropriate parameters for network connection, address of the reposi-
tory, and SSH enablement. This is described in detail in Section 1.4.2, “Using
Custom Boot Options” (page 33).
The target system boots to a text-based environment, giving the network address
under which the graphical installation environment can be addressed by any SSH
client.

On the controlling workstation, open a terminal window and connect to the target
system as described in Section “Connecting to the Installation Program”
(page 38).

Perform the installation as described in Chapter 1, Installation with YaST (↑Start-
Up). Reconnect to the target system after it reboots for the nal part of the instal-
lation.

Finish the installation.
1.1.5 Simple Remote Installation via
SSH—Dynamic Network Conguration
This type of installation still requires some degree of physical access to the target system
to boot for installation and determine the IP address of the installation target. The instal-
lation itself is entirely controlled from a remote workstation using VNC to connect to
the installer, but still requires user interaction for the actual conguration efforts.
For this type of installation, make sure that the following requirements are met:
• Remote repository: NFS, HTTP, FTP, or SMB with working network connection.
• Target system with working network connection.
• Controlling system with working network connection and working SSH client
software.
