With SLES 11, during the install you have the option of specifying a display type of VNC and a VNC password. Once you receive a message indicating something to the effect ³You can connect to nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, display:1 now with vncviewer Or use a Java capable browser on http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:5801/³, you can utilize VNC to complete a graphical install utilizing yast2. After a few selections you will reach a ³Disk Activation² window where you can configure DASD.
You will have the option of using the ³Expert Partitioner² at this point which will allow you to create LVM volume groups, physical volumes, logical volumes, and then filesystems on these logical volumes.
