 PXE definitely is the least painful method if your servers are setup
 to boot from LAN. You can have different config files/profiles for
 booting the different installation types that you want and combined
 with yast autoinstall files, the process can be fully automated.

 If you need more info on setting up PXE specifically look at:

 This should get you a basic idea to start with.


Thanks a bunch Sharinder.

I will get back to you, once i initiate the build.

[ilugd] Network Installation of SLES

2008-04-10 Thread Smruti
Team,

I want to install Suse Enterprise Server 9 with SP3 throguh network.

So, I need guidence in determining the best possible way of doing it. My
options are:
 + AutoInstall (A things which is stopping me from adopting this is, the
installations are not same. I mean everytime the filesystem, services,
packages and everything will be different)
 + NFS
 + PXE Installation (This is something I would like to implement if it
can provide me flexibility with minimal user intervention)

One of the things, I look forward to is minimal physical user intervention.

So, please suggest.
