I don't really understand the page.

I have a remote server, located in a datacenter where I have no access.

I *can* have the server loaded with recent openSUSE or any other Linux
distribution, I also can reboot the server or even reboot a recovery
console.

I can, of course, change the grub boot menu before rebooting. I can
certainly select what grub entry will be used for the next reboot (but
I don't remember how right now).

The Hard drive is large, so I can host cd/dvd image, but I don't think
grub can boot from them.

from this, I could do a zypper dup when I will be sure it work :-),
but I would prefere to

* boot recovery and partition the Hard drive. This may be simply done
from the default install (I don't know right now the server default
install setup).

* copy the necessary files to a partition, but what files?

* and then? how lauch YaST install and control it from my home?

thanks
jdd
