2.1.5 Simple Remote Installation via
SSH—Dynamic Network Conguration
This type of installation still requires some degree of physical access to the target system
to boot for installation and determine the IP address of the installation target. The instal-
lation itself is entirely controlled from a remote workstation using VNC to connect to

For this type of installation, make sure that the following requirements are met:
• Remote repository: NFS, HTTP, FTP, or SMB with working network connection.
• Target system with working network connection.
• Controlling system with working network connection and working SSH client soft-

• Physical boot medium (CD, DVD, or USB ash drive) for booting the target system.
• Running DHCP server providing IP addresses.
To perform this kind of installation, proceed as follows:
