openSUSE 10.2 Network Boot and Installation HOWTO
This HOWTO describes how to setup an openSUSE 10.2 machine to act as a network boot and install server. I have used this method to install openSUSE 10.2 on my Tablet PC (Toshiba Portege M200).
The plan is to have a DHCP server assigning IPs, TFTP server for PXELINUX to be loaded (to load the openSUSE installer) and an NFS share to supply the installation files.
Prerequests
* PXE boot capable machine
* Packages - all of them can be found on the DVD or in the main openSUSE repository.
- dhcp-server - to automatically asign IPs.
- tftp - to share the boot image
- syslinux - to supply the boot image (pxelinux.0)
- yast2-tftp-server - Graphical configurator for a TFTP server
- yast2-dhcp-server - Graphical configurator for a DHCP server
- yast2-nfs-server - Graphical configurator for a NFS server.
* A network cable
* openSUSE 10.2 DVD
All of the graphical configurators used in this HOWTO can be found in Yast2 in the Network Services section.
