I've done some googling on headless installs and have only been able to find references to SLES having that capability by using pxe and VNC.
Does anyone know whether or not it is possible to do a headless install of 9.3 Pro, and if so, where there might be a howto on the subject?
Or 9.1 Pro, if I may be forgiven for piggybacking....
Use remote administration in yast to configure server, and install rdesktop on client. Connect like you would in vnc, else use ssh for just the cammand line, and you can run yast in a terminal.
What the hell does this have to do with a FRESH install? Does the remote data center have IP based KVM switches? If they do this would give you remote access to the console during the bootup phase and allow for a remote install. I have used one in the past to remote admin a box in NC from FL (USA), works great. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
