[opensuse] Tutorial : openSUSE Network Installation with PXE Boot
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-...

Really nice work. I have done a similiar setup two weeks ago. In your tutorial, I have found valuable information to make it work even better. Thanks. Would be nice to have this in the opensuse wiki, where it can be found easier and where it is easier to print it (mediawiki does a good job in this respect).
