Operation Manual

• Physical boot medium (CD, DVD, or USB ash drive) for booting the target system.
• Running DHCP server providing IP addresses.
To perform this kind of installation, proceed as follows:
1
Set up the repository source as described in Section 1.2, “Setting Up the Server
Holding the Installation Sources” (page 12). Choose an NFS, HTTP, or FTP
network server. For an SMB repository, refer to Section 1.2.5, “Managing an
SMB Repository” (page 20).
2
Boot the target system using a boot medium (DVD, CD, or USB ash drive) of
the openSUSE media kit. For more information about the openSUSE media kit,
see Section “Choosing the Installation Media” (Chapter 1, Installation with YaST,
↑Start-Up).
3
When the boot screen of the target system appears, use the boot options prompt
to pass the appropriate parameters for network connection, location of the instal-
lation source, and SSH enablement. See Section 1.4.2, “Using Custom Boot
Options” (page 33) for detailed instructions on the use of these parameters.
The target system boots to a text-based environment, giving you 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).

lation.
