I've written a network installation or upgrading guide with a small script called setupgrubfornfsinstall [0] earlier this month. It's help a lot on my work : upgrading openSUSE 10.3 and 11.0 workstation into latest version openSUSE 11.1.
Although the script quite useful, it's not really satisfied either. The main problem is that the script need a running openSUSE or SUSE Linux Enterprise. It can't be used to install or upgrade on an empty system or to remove another system. I catch the problem while installing openSUSE 11.1 on broken Windows system. It has no CD or DVD ROM. I may install the system by borrowed the CD/DVD ROM from another PC or using external CD/DVD ROM or by using openSUSE 11.1 LiveUSB [1], but I think it's a good chance to try better method : Installing openSUSE 11.1 over network with PXE Boot. http://vavai.net/2009/01/17/tutorial-opensuse-network-install-over-pxe-boot-a-complete-guide-part-i/ [0] : http://vavai.net/2009/01/04/opensuse-network-installationupgrade-without-cddvd/ [1] : http://vavai.net/2009/01/02/how-to-make-opensuse-111-liveusb/ -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id /************************************************************/ _______________________________________________ milis mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opensuse-id.org/listinfo.cgi/milis-opensuse-id.org
