TIP: Booting from DVD on UEFI machines
►amd64 em64t: DVD1 can be used as a boot medium for machines equipped
with UEFI (Unied Extensible Firmware Interface). Refer to your vendor's documen-
tation for specic information. If booting fails, try to enable CSM (Compatibility
Support Module) in your rmware. ◄
1.2.1 Installing from a Network Server Using SLP
If your network setup supports OpenSLP and your network installation source has
been congured to announce itself via SLP (described in Section “Setting Up the
Server Holding the Installation Sources” (Chapter 1, Remote Installation, ↑Reference)),
boot the system, press [F4] in the boot screen and select SLP from the menu.
The installation program congures the network connection with DHCP and retrieves
the location of the network installation source from the OpenSLP server. If the auto-
matic DHCP network conguration fails, you are prompted to enter the appropriate
parameters manually. The installation then proceeds as described below with the
exception of the network conguration step that is needed prior to adding additional
repositories. This step is not needed as the network is already congured and active
at this point.
1.2.2 Installing from a Network Source without SLP
If your network setup does not support OpenSLP for the retrieval of network installa-
tion sources, boot the system and press [F4] in the boot screen to select the desired
network protocol (NFS, HTTP, FTP, or SMB/CIFS). Provide the server's address and
the path to the installation media.
The installation program automatically congures the network connection with DHCP.
If this conguration fails, you are prompted to enter the appropriate parameters
manually. The installation retrieves the installation data from the source specied.
The installation then proceeds as described below with the exception of the network
conguration step needed prior to adding additional repositories. This step is not
needed as the network is already congured and active at this point.

lation, you will be prompted to insert the installation media. The installation proceeds
