Abstract

Control the installation in one of several ways. The method most frequently used is to install SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server from the computer console. Other options are available for different situations. Find more information about the available installation methods in Chapter Deployment Strategies (↑Installation and Administration).

Installation on the Computer Console

The simplest way to install SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is using the computer console. With this method, a graphical installation program guides you through the installation. This installation method is discussed in detail in Chapter Installation with YaST (↑Installation and Administration).

You can still perform the installation on the console without a working graphics mode. The text-based installation program offers the same functionality as the graphical version. Find some hints about navigation in this mode in Section “Navigation in Modules” (Chapter 8, System Configuration with YaST, ↑Installation and Administration).
