I have been performing network installations of Red Hat using DHCP/TFTP/NFS for some time and now need to do the same for SuSE Linux and Enterprise Linux. I have been going through the AutoYast docs and my initial question is:
Does my installation server need to run SuSE, or can I just server up the appropriate files with my existing (Red Hat 9) DHCP/TFTP/NFS setup? I would prefer to have a single server for installing both if I can and I am wondering what I lose by not running SuSE for the installation server?
All input is appreciated.

I am using redhat as my PXE/TFTP/NFS with Windows as DHCP server to install both redhat and suse. No issues so far.
