## How to Set Up and Copy SUSE Software to a Directory

The following steps explain how to create the directory setup containing SLES10 SP2 or SLES11 files for PXE installation.

You can use a different target directory than the `/home/pxeboot/sles10/` directory shown. The examples in this procedure use this directory.

Note - You must place the entire contents of SLES10 SP2 or SLES11 in a single directory.

Before You Begin

You must have a copy of the files from the Tools and Drivers CD. See How to Copy Files from the Tools and Drivers CD for details.

1. Set up the directory structure that will hold the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 or 11. Type:

       # mkdir -p /home/pxeboot/slesNN

   where NN is 10 for SLES10 and 11 for SLES11.

2. Insert CD 1 or DVD1 into your server and copy its content to your PXE server. Type:

       # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
       # cp -r /mnt/cdrom/* /home/pxeboot/slesNN/
       # umount /mnt/cdrom

   where NN is 10 for SLES10 and 11 for SLES11.

3. Remove the media from the server.
   - If you are installing SLES 10 or SLES 11 from a DVD, you are done. You do not need to copy DVD2.
   - If you are installing SLES 10 from CDs, repeat Step 2 and Step 3, copying the contents of each CD into the same directory.
