SMB protocol, already included in the Windows operating system. Be sure to activate
SMB over TCP/IP as this enables the encapsulation of SMB packages into TCP/IP
packages. Find details in the Windows online help or other Windows-related documen-
tation that covers networking. Another option is to use FTP. This also requires some
third-party software for Windows.
With SMB
To make the installation media available with SMB, just insert the SUSE Linux Enter-
prise Server CD 1 into the CD drive of the Windows workstation. Then create a new
share using the CD-ROM drive's letter and make it available for everyone in the network.
TIP: SMB Installation Path for YaST
Consult the
README
from the highest directory of CD 1 for detailed information
about the syntax of the installation path for YaST.
With NFS
Refer to the documentation provided with the third party product that enables NFS
server services for your Windows workstation. The CD-ROM drive containing the
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server CDs must be in the available NFS path.
With FTP
Refer to the documentation provided with the third party product that is enabling FTP
server services on your Windows workstation. The CD-ROM drive containing the
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server CDs must be in the available FTP path.
The FTP server that is part of some Microsoft Windows releases implements only a
subset of the FTP command set and is not suitable for providing the installation data.
However, other products, such as the FTP server that is part of Hummingbird Exceed
or WAR-FTPD, have been reported as functional.
