[opensuse] Install openSuSE 10.3 on a remote machine (Remote Installation)
Hi! I have a server that that is running an old version of SuSE and I am planning to upgrade it to 10.3 by creating a clean install. Unfortunately I have no physical access to the machine but would still like to control the installation process myself. I don't think I am brave enough to do it with autoYast just yet. I would obviously have someone to boot the install up and plug the machine into the Internet. I have found some clues here: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Remote_Installation_of_SUSE_LINUX but I was wondering if anyone have had any experience using either of the options with 10.3 (or any 10.x). I'd ideally like to try it with vnc but ssh would be equally fine. Any clues highly appreciated. -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ Please consider the environment before printing this email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This article says it all. I have done multiple installations that way. Just to be confident, I would suggest that you create a local virtual machine, and try remote install on it on your workplace, so you try it out.

Thanks, I really just needed some reassurance. But the cue about virtual machine is great! I am very much used to virtual PCs now in the Windows world and used them a lot but I keep forgetting it is pretty much the case too for linux :-) -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ Please consider the environment before printing this email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
