Re: how to build a kickstart server in Suse or Open Suse

Setting up an installation server with SuSE is not that difficult. "Kickstart" is generally a term used for automated Red Hat installations. SuSE uses an XML based file called autoinst.xml that contains the installation information.

Everything you need is in SuSE to set it all up

PXE, TFTP, DHCP, and either NFS or HTTP to access the OS bits.

This link is a good overview
