6 Acknowledgments

With a lot of voluntary commitment, the developers of Linux cooperate on a global

scale to promote the development of Linux. We thank them for their efforts—this dis-

tribution would not exist without them. Furthermore, we thank Frank Zappa and Pawar.

Special thanks, of course, goes to Linus Torvalds.

Have a lot of fun!

Remote Installation

openSUSE® can be installed in different ways. As well as the usual media installation

covered in Chapter 1, Installation with YaST (↑Start-Up), you can choose from various

network-based approaches or even take a completely hands-off approach to the instal-

lation of openSUSE.

Each method is introduced by means of two short check lists: one listing the prerequisites

for this method and the other illustrating the basic procedure. More detail is then pro-

vided for all the techniques used in these installation scenarios.

NOTE

In the following sections, the system to hold your new openSUSE installation

is referred to as target system or installation target. The term repository (pre-

viously called “installation source”) is used for all sources of installation data.

This includes physical media, such as CD and DVD, and network servers dis-

tributing the installation data in your network.

1.1 Installation Scenarios for Remote

Installation

This section introduces the most common installation scenarios for remote installations.

For each scenario, carefully check the list of prerequisites and follow the procedure

outlined for this scenario. If in need of detailed instructions for a particular step, follow

the links provided for each one of them.

Remote Installation 3

1.1.1 Simple Remote Installation via

VNC—Static Network Conguration

This type of installation still requires some degree of physical access to the target system

to boot for installation. The installation itself is entirely controlled by a remote worksta-

tion using VNC to connect to the installation program. User interaction is required as

with the manual installation in Chapter 1, Installation with YaST (↑Start-Up).

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 VNC viewer software

or Java-enabled browser (Firefox, Konqueror, Internet Explorer, Opera, etc.).

•Physical boot medium (CD, DVD, or USB ash drive) for booting the target system.

• Valid static IP addresses already assigned to the repository and the controlling

system.

• Valid static IP address to assign to the target system.

To perform this kind of installation, proceed as follows:

1Set up the repository 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).

2Boot 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).

3When the boot screen of the target system appears, use the boot options prompt

to set the appropriate VNC options and the address of the repository. This is de-

scribed in detail in Section 1.4, “Booting the Target System for Installation”

(page 32).
