Use arrow keys to select Start Installation/System and press Enter. On the next screen, select Start Installation/Update and press Enter. The installer displays a list of source mediums this is where you indicate where the installer can find the files it needs to perform the installation. 14. Select Network as the source medium and press Enter. The installer prompts you for the network protocol. 15. Select FTP as the network protocol and press Enter. A dialog box prompts you to determine whether to configure the network automatically by using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If your network uses DHCP as most do, select Yes and press Enter. Otherwise, you have to enter the IP address and the name server s IP address at this step. The installer then prompts for the IP address of the FTP server. 16. Enter the IP address of the FTP server that you found in Step 1 (for example, enter 140.221.9.138 for the FTP server mirror.mcs.anl. gov). The installer prompts you if you want to use a username and password to connect to the FTP server. Because the FTP servers support anonymous FTP which means anyone can log in with the username anonymous select No and press Enter. The installer also prompts if you want to use a HTTP proxy. Unless your PC is behind a proxy (which may be the case at some organizations), select No and press Enter. The installer then prompts for the name of the directory where the SUSE files are located. 17. Enter the name of the directory on the FTP server where the SUSE Linux files are located and press Enter. The directory name would be the parent directory of the location where you found the boot.iso file in Step 1. For example, if the boot.iso file is in pub/suse/i386/9.1/boot/, then you should type pub/suse/i386/ 9.1/ and press Enter. The installer displays a message informing you that it is loading data into ramdisk (which refers to an area of memory that acts as a hard drive). When the installer finishes downloading data, the YaST (that s what the SUSE installer is called) installer starts and displays its initial GUI screen. From this point on, the installation steps are the same as the ones for CD/DVD install, which I explain in the next section. You should jump to the point where the YaST installer displays its initial GUI screen.
