The installation media contain all the necessary packages and meta information that is necessary to install a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. These must be available to the installation system after booting for installation. Several possibilities to provide the installation media to the system are available with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.
All necessary data is delivered on the boot media. Depending on the selected installation, if you install a CD version, several disk changes may be necessary.
If you plan to install several systems, providing the installation media over the network makes things a lot easier. It is possible to install from many common protocols, such as NFS, HTTP, FTP, or SMB. For more information about how to run such an installation, refer to Chapter Remote Installation (↑Installation and Administration).
