Remote installation for new SUSE server

##### Remote installation for new SUSE server

### download required kernel and initrd images ( you can choose 32 bit or 64 bit kernel and your desired)

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loader/linux
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd

### copy them to /boot

cp linux /boot/linux.install
cp initrd /boot/initrd.install

### make suitable menu.lst entries

title Boot-- SUSE Linux 10.3
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/linux.install noapic usessh=1 sshpassword="12345678" install=http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/ hostip=yo.ur.ip.here netmask=yo.ur.net.mask gateway=yo.ur.gate.way nameserver=yo.ur.name.server
initrd /boot/initrd.install

### reboot

when it comes up it will do ssh -X root@yo.ur.ip.here

when ssh prompt is available run yast and follow the instruction

When it finishes you are done. : )

Easy.... Isn't it :P
