Installing over the Network

An installation server is required to perform the installation by using a network source. The procedure for installing this server is outlined in Section “Setting Up the Server Holding the Installation Sources” (Chapter 4, Remote Installation, ↑Installation and Administration).

If you have an SLP server, select SLP as the installation source in the first boot screen. During the boot procedure, select which of the available installation sources to use.

If the CDs or DVDs are available in the network, use these as an installation source. In this case, specify the parameter install=<URL> with suitable values at the boot prompt. Find a more detailed description of this parameter in Section “Using Custom Boot Options” (Chapter 4, Remote Installation, ↑Installation and Administration).
