2. Follow these guidelines to open the SLES Version 9 distribution media to copy each CD to

the appropriate directory.

On a Linux workstation or laptop, it is common to mount a CD or loopback mount an ISO

image. For example:

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt

# mount –o loop /home/sles9-disc1.iso /mnt

Begin by inserting or mounting the first CD and coping the contents to the appropriate

subdirectory as described in step 3. Then, insert or mount the second and copy the contents

to the next, and so on.

SLES Version 9 media contains several sets of hard links. It is important to use a copy

command that properly handles hard links, like cpio command or rsync -a to copy the

contents on Linux Workstations.

3. Follow these guidelines to copy the CD media to the appropriate directory:

a. The first SLES Version 9 CD is known as the Product CD. Open and copy the contents

of that CD into the /SLES9/CD1 directory.

b. The second SLES Version 9 CD is known as the first CORE CD. Open and copy the

contents of that CD into the /CORE9/CD1 directory.

c. Open and copy the third SLES Version 9 CD into the second CORE CD directory,

/CORE9/CD2, and so on.

d. Open and copy the contents of the service pack media into the SVRP3 directory structure.

Copy the contents of the first service pack CD into the /SVRP3/CD1 directory, copy

the contents of the second service pack CD to the /SVRP3/CD2 directory, and copy the

contents of the third service pack CD to /SVRP3/CD3.

NOTE: For a step-by-step example of copying the SLES Version 9 installation media to a

staging directory on a Linux workstation, see Appendix A (page 265).

4. Link the SLES Version 9 installation sources:

# cd /opt/repository/os/SLES-9-SP3-i386

# ln -s SLES9/CD1/control.xml

# ln -s SVRP3/CD1/boot

# ln -s SVRP3/CD1/content

# ln -s SVRP3/CD1/driverupdate

# ln -s SVRP3/CD1/linux

# ln -s SVRP3/CD1/media.1

# cd boot

# ln -s ../../../SLES9/CD1/boot/root

5. Create the installation order files:

# cd /opt/repository/os/SLES-9-SP3-i386

# mkdir -p yast

# printf "/SVRP3/CD1\n" > yast/instorder

# printf "/SLES9/CD1\n" >> yast/instorder

# printf "/CORE9/CD1\n" >> yast/instorder

# printf "/SVRP3/CD1\t/SVRP3/CD1\n" > yast/order
