Adding operating system installation files

To include operating system files in your deployment image, you must make the files accessible to the deployment server. If the operating system files you want to use in your deployments cannot be accessed by the deployment server, you can copy the files to the server by following the steps provided in this topic.

Before you begin

If the operating system files you want to use in your deployments are already in a location accessible to the deployment server, you do not have to add them to the deployment server.
Note: The Linux Scripting Toolkit supports only Service Pack 4 for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. To add Service Pack 4 to the source server, you must first add all CDs of base SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9. After adding these files, you can add the service pack by following the same procedure. When you add the service pack, you must select the same target directory you used for the base.
