1.7.1 Add-On Products
Add-on products can be installed either from a local source (CD, DVD, or directory)
or from a network source (HTTP, FTP, NFS, CIFS,...). When installing from a network
source, you need to congure the network rst (unless you are performing a network
installation— in this case the existing network conguration is used). Choose Yes,
Run the Network Setup and proceed as described in Section 1.7.1.1, “Network Setup”
(page 12). If the add-on product is available locally, select No, Skip the Network
Setup.
Click Next and specify the product source. Source types available are CD, DVD, Hard
Disk, USB Mass Storage, a Local Directory or a Local ISO Image (if no network was
congured). If the add-on product is available on removable media, the system au-
tomatically mounts the media and reads its contents. If the add-on product is available
on hard disk, choose Hard Disk to install from an unmounted hard drive, or Local
Directory/Local ISO Image to install from the local le system. Add-on products may
be delivered as a repository or as a set of rpm les. In the latter case, check Plain
RPM Directory. Whenever a network is available, you can choose from additional re-
mote sources such as HTTP, SLP, FTP, etc. It is also possible to specify a URL directly.
Check Download Repository Description Files to download the les describing the
repository now. If unchecked, they will be downloaded once the installation starts.
Proceed with Next and insert a CD or DVD if required. Depending on the product's
content it may be necessary to accept additional license agreements.
It is also possible to congure add-on products later. Using add-on products on the
installed system is described in Chapter 6, Installing Add-On Products (↑Reference).
1.7.1.1 Network Setup
When invoking the network setup, YaST scans for available network cards. If more
than one network card is found, you must choose the card to congure from the list.
If an ethernet network adapter is not already connected, a warning will open. Make
sure the network cable is plugged in and choose Yes, Use It. If your network is
equipped with a DHCP server, choose Automatic Address Setup (via DHCP). To
manually set up the network choose Static Address Setup and specify IP Address,
Netmask, Default Gateway IP, and the DNS Server IP.
Some networks require the use of a proxy server to access the Internet. Tick the
check box Use Proxy for Accessing the Internet and enter the appropriate specica-
tions. Click Accept to perform the network setup. The installation procedure will
continue with the add-on products or repositories setup as described in Section 1.7.1,
“Add-On Products” (page 12).
