Dene an alias for the root directory of the FTP or HTTP server on which the instal-
lation data should be found. The repository will later be located under
ftp://Server-IP/Alias/Name (FTP) or under
http://Server-IP/Alias/Name (HTTP). Name stands for the name of the
repository, which is dened in the following step. If you selected NFS in the previous
step, dene wild cards and export options. The NFS server will be accessible under
nfs://Server-IP/Name. Details of NFS and exports can be found in Chapter 18,
Sharing File Systems with NFS (page 331).
TIP: Firewall Settings
Make sure that the rewall settings of your server system allow trafc on
the ports for HTTP, NFS, and FTP. If they currently do not, enable Open Port
in Firewall or check Firewall Details rst.

Congure the repository. Before the installation media are copied to their destination,
dene the name of the repository (ideally, an easily remembered abbreviation of the
product and version). YaST allows providing ISO images of the media instead of
copies of the installation DVDs. If you want this, activate the relevant check box
and specify the directory path under which the ISO les can be found locally. De-
pending on the product to distribute using this installation server, it might be that
more add-on CDs or service pack CDs are required and should be added as extra
repositories. To announce your installation server in the network via OpenSLP, acti-
vate the appropriate option.
TIP
Consider announcing your repository via OpenSLP if your network setup
supports this option. This saves you from entering the network installation
path on every target machine. The target systems are just booted using the
SLP boot option and nd the network repository without any further con-
guration. For details on this option, refer to Section 2.4, “Booting the Target
System for Installation” (page 65).
7
Upload the installation data. The most lengthy step in conguring an installation
server is copying the actual installation media. Insert the media in the sequence re-
quested by YaST and wait for the copying procedure to end. When the sources have
been fully copied, return to the overview of existing repositories and close the con-
guration by selecting Finish.
