So you did or didn't extract the SLES CDs somewhere on your Windows machine?
If you did, you can copy the install tree from your Windows PC using any means necessary (FTP, SMB, or if you have an SSH server installed on your PC you can copy the tree using scp has described in section 8.1.1). If you didn't extract the CDs, just copy the CD images to the controller, extract them. Once you have the tree on your controller you can either set up NFS on it as described in the book or set up an FTP server and use that (yast lets you use NFS, FTP, and a few other methods). ks On 5/10/06, Judson West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
For the most part, it is really a cookbook. I have had great success using it to install SLES9 on our z/VM system. I initially ran into difficulties when the cookbook suggested that I use an NFS server to install from. This was not possible, more so it was not the easiest to do - lots of people to have to deal with to get this done. So, I used the FTP method with the files on my Windows PC. This worked until Chapter 8: Configuring NFS on controller. This presumes that I used an NFS server for the install and now wants me to simply copy the install tree (that I didn't have to make) onto my controller and set it up to dish it out to the clones. Is there a way to continue from here, not having set up the install tree, without having to restart the whole process this time using an NFS server from the git-go? ----------------- Judson West Teradata, a division of NCR Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
