Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT, Deployment Manual, Page: 203 / 322

2 Boot the target system using the first CD or DVD of the SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server media kit.
3 When the boot screen of the target system appears, use the boot options prompt
to set the appropriate VNC options and the address of the installation source.
This is described in detail in
Section 14.4, “Booting the Target System for Instal-
lation” (page 218).
The target system boots to a text-based environment, giving the network address
and display number under which the graphical installation environment can be
addressed by any VNC viewer application or browser. VNC installations announce
themselves over OpenSLP and if the firewall settings permit, they can be found
using Konqueror in
service:/
or
slp:/
mode.
4 On the controlling workstation, open a VNC viewing application or Web
browser and connect to the target system as described in
Section 14.5.1, “VNC
Installation” (page 222).
5
Perform the installation as described in Chapter 6, Installation with YaST
(page 89). Reconnect to the target system after it reboots for the final part of the
installation.
6 Finish the installation.
14.1.2 Simple Remote Installation via
VNC—Dynamic Network
Configuration
This type of installation still requires some degree of physical access to the target system
to boot for installation. The network configuration is made with DHCP. The installation
itself is entirely controlled from a remote workstation using VNC to connect to the in-
staller, but still requires user interaction for the actual configuration efforts.
For this type of installation, make sure that the following requirements are met:
• Remote installation source: NFS, HTTP, FTP, or SMB with working network
connection.
