Our initial test, we had to copy all the CDs into a common disk directory, and
point to that directory via FTP. We've since downloaded the DVD, and will just
mount that and point to it for our next attempt at SLES 10. There's no fancy
SLES10/CD1 and CD2 stuff; just copy all the CDs (probably CD number 1 last, so
that all of the checksums are correct) to a single directory, and give it a
shot.

Subject: SLES10 Install
We are beginning to look at the installation process for SLES10 and have a
question. Our current zVM Linux strategy is to use VSWITCH and we run VLAN
enabled SLES8 and SLES9 guests thru VLAN and a VLAN trunk enabled Cisco Switch.
In the past we have downloaded the SLES boot files to VM, IPL'd the boot kernal
and use FTP to access the full install SLES media. Will the SLES10 inital boot
kernal allow for VLAN enabling the install kernal to communicate with the
installation FTP Server? Is anyone else using FTP Server for the inital install
and how are you creating your network access and FTP Server directory structure
for the initial SLES10 guest?
