2.1 Deploying up to 10 Workstations
If your deployment of SUSE Linux Enterprise only involves 1 to 10 workstations,
the easiest and least complex way of deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise is a plain manual
installation as featured in Section 3.0,
Installation with YaST. Manual installation can be done in several
different ways depending on your requirements:
-
Installing from the SUSE Linux Enterprise Media
-
Consider this approach if you want to install a single, disconnected
workstation.
-
Installing from a Network Server Using SLP
-
Consider this approach if you have a single workstation or a small
number of workstations and if a network installation server announced via
SLP is available.
-
Installing from a Network Server
-
Consider this approach if you have a single workstation or a small
number of workstations and if a network installation server is
available.
