Operation Manual

On a Linux machine, make sure that the package tightvnc is installed. On a Windows

machine, install the Windows port of this application, which can be obtained at the

TightVNC home page (http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html).

To connect to the installation program running on the target machine, proceed as

follows:

Start the VNC viewer.

Enter the IP address and display number of the installation target as provided by

the SLP browser or the installation program itself:

ip_address:display_number

A window opens on your desktop displaying the YaST screens as in a normal

local installation.

Using a Web browser to connect to the installation program makes you totally indepen-

dent of any VNC software or the underlying operating system. As long as the browser

application has Java support enabled, you can use any browser (Firefox, Internet Ex-

plorer, Konqueror, Opera, etc.) to perform the installation of your Linux system.

To perform a VNC installation, proceed as follows:

Launch your preferred Web browser.

Enter the following at the address prompt:

http://ip_address_of_target:5801

Enter your VNC password when prompted to do so. The browser window now

displays the YaST screens as in a normal local installation.
