There is no SLE package repository you are trying to access that is why you get http error. > > If you have any references/hints that can help me successfully get this > installed I would appreciate it.

If network booting is what you are looking for then check out KIWI https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:KIWI Alternative is Tinycore thin client would work on any distro once you have setup the required components for network booting, in this case nfsserver, dnsmasq serving dhcp and tftp, and sshd running. Firewall should be disabled or should allow access to all of these services. /etc/dnsmasq.conf has just one line: conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d and /etc/dnsmasq.d/kiwi-ltsp.conf has this: dhcp-range=10.0.0.20,10.0.0.252,1h dhcp-vendorclass=pxe,PXEClient #dhcp-boot=net:pxe,pxelinux.0 dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0 enable-tftp tftp-root=/srv/tftpboot get it from here: https://sourceforge.net/p/kiwi-ltsp/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/tinycore-thinclient/ Extract the tarball in the server's root "tar xf kiwi-ltsp-tinycore-tc.tar.xz -C /" Adapt the script and dnsmasq configs according to your network change the SERVER=$IPofSLE in kiwi-ltsp-tinycore-tc-setup.sh I would really appreciate you writing a detailed howto for the benefit of others like you if you manage to do any of the above.
