3.3 Installation Source

For installing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the installation files must be available in the local network or on a locally provided CD-ROM or DVD. Provide a network source by setting up a Linux or Unix system as an HTTP, NFS, or FTP server. It is also possible to share the installation files over SMB from a computer running Windows.

Configuring an SLP server in the local network simplifies selection of an installation source. This is described in “Setting Up an Installation Server Using YaST” (Chapter “Remote Installation”, ↑Installation and Administration).
