2.2 Setting Up the Server Holding the
Installation Sources
Depending on the operating system running on the machine to use as the network instal-
lation source for openSUSE, there are several options for the server conguration. The
easiest way to set up an installation server is to use YaST on openSUSE 11.1 and
higher.
TIP
You can even use a Microsoft Windows machine as the installation server for
your Linux deployment. See Section 2.2.5, “Managing an SMB Reposito-
ry” (page 53) for details.
2.2.1 Setting Up an Installation Server Using
YaST
YaST offers a graphical tool for creating network repositories. It supports HTTP, FTP,
and NFS network installation servers.
1
Log in as root to the machine that should act as installation server.
2
Install the yast2-instserver package.
3
Start YaST > Miscellaneous > Installation Server.
4
Select the repository type (HTTP, FTP, or NFS). The selected service is started au-
tomatically every time the system starts. If a service of the selected type is already
running on your system and you want to congure it manually for the server, deac-
tivate the automatic conguration of the server service with Do Not Congure Any
Network Services. In both cases, dene the directory in which the installation data
should be made available on the server.
5
Congure the required repository type. This step relates to the automatic conguration
of server services. It is skipped when automatic conguration is deactivated.
