Operation Manual

Replace path_to_repository and repository with values matching

your setup. If you need to make this permanent, add it to /etc/fstab.

Start vsftpd with vsftpd.

Announce the repository via OpenSLP, if this is supported by your network setup:

Create the /etc/slp.reg.d/install.suse.ftp.reg conguration

le with the following lines:

# Register the FTP Installation Server

service:install.suse:ftp://$HOSTNAME/repository/DVD1,en,65535

description=FTP Repository

Replace repository with the actual name to the repository directory on

your server. The service: line should be entered as one continuous line.

Start the OpenSLP daemon with rcslpd start.

TIP: Conguring an FTP Server with YaST

If you prefer using YaST over manually conguring the FTP installation server,

refer to Chapter 29, Setting up an FTP server with YaST (page 485) for more in-

formation on how to use the YaST FTP server module.

1.2.4 Setting Up an HTTP Repository

Manually

Creating an HTTP repository is very similar to creating an NFS repository. An HTTP

repository can be announced over the network using OpenSLP as well.

Create a directory holding the installation sources as described in Section 1.2.2,

“Setting Up an NFS Repository Manually” (page 14).

Congure the HTTP server to distribute the contents of your installation directory:
