Creating a PXE Image for SUSE Linux
This topic provides instructions for creating a SLES 10 or SLES 11 PXE image on the PXE
server. It is divided into two tasks:

How to Set Up and Copy SUSE Software to a Directory
The following steps explain how to create the directory setup containing SLES10 SP2 or SLES11
files for PXE installation.
You can use a different target directory from the
/home/pxeboot/sles10/
directory shown.
The examples in this procedure use this directory.
Note –
You must place the entire contents of SLES10 SP2 or SLES11 in a single directory.
You must have a copy of the files from the Tools and Drivers CD.
Set up the directory structure that will hold the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 or 11. Type:
#
mkdir -p /home/pxeboot/sles
NN
where
NN
is 10 for SLES10 and 11 for SLES11.
