[SLE] New article: Installing Linux remotely
Hi all, I wrote an article on how to install Linux remotely using Fedora Core 5/OpenSuse 10.1. I'm sure any other modern Linux distro can do this also. This is the excerpt: One of the feature of Linux that I admire most is it's ability to be installed remotely. Meaning? Yes, we can install it from a different location, either it is from a different floor, different building, different city, or even different country. This is most useful for a corporate with many branches but limited IT staffs.

I cant help but to think that this argument is used as some sort of news in the battle against M$. "We have invented a way to install the software remotely"... I am not sure about VMS or the other *nixes, but IRIX (Silicon Graphics operatingsystem) does remote install since way back. Either from a remotely mounted tape, CD or disk. There are even articles on how to use a Linux serving the IRIX installation files. Not that i see this as a bad argument as its fairly impossible to install any Windows version any way but from local CD. Its cool to see new and smart ways to install and use Linux. (USB stick, remote disk, live CD's..) I cant wait to see what happens with the development in new and better hardware and support. -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob: : +46 (0)763 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >

It gets even better, that is: autoinstall. You can define a "recipe" and send CD1 to the branch. The computer needs to boot with some parameters like autoinstall=ftp://install.yourdomain.com/install_recipe.xml and will install itself. It really works great. The easiest way to make a recipe is to check the box "Clone this installation for autoinstall" on CORE10 distributions of SUSE. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Hi Silviu, that sounds great, similar to Fedora's kickstart. What is the parameter in boot options if we want to use the autoinstallation?
