OK, A fairly rough statement to make but the newest version of OpenSuse, and I believe its previous versions, did not have a TRUE network installation option.
WITHOUT any additional software management i.e. to create a Live USB or DVD, and also not having a master host server to retrieve from, how can a network install truly be done?
Download the install-system kernel and initrd, boot them over PXE. This does require a working DHCP and TFTP server setup though. I've been installing servers with this method for the last 4-5 years.

It uses the ISO file stored on the HD. basically: menuentry "*openSUSE 12.3 DVD*" { set isofile=*/openSUSE-12.3-DVD-x86_64.iso* set root=(*hd0,1*) loopback loop $isofile linux (loop)/boot/*x86_64*/loader/linux install=hd:$isofile initrd (loop)/boot/*x86_64*/loader/initrd That is an example, read the forum thread for details and more versions. :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
