SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11

Download and Installation

Download instructions

SUSE® Linux* Enterprise Server is available for download for each available platform as two DVD ISO images. DVD1 contains the binary packages, DVD2 the source code:

• Files with "i386" in the name are for the x86 platform.
• Files with "x86_64" in the name are for the AMD64 and Intel* 64 platforms.
• Files with "ia64" in the name are for the Itanium* platform.
• Files with "ppc64" in the name are for the IBM* Power platform.
• Files with "s390x" in the name are for IBM* System z.

1. Download the ISO images to a workstation or to a network drive.
2. Create DVDs from the ISO images (This step is optional: if you are working within a virtualized environment, you most probably will only need the images).

Important: Create the DVDs using the contents of the ISO images. Do not create the DVDs by burning the .iso files themselves (i.e. as a single "track") to DVD. Instead always choose "burn image", "burn ISO", "write premastered image", ... or similar.

For example, if you're using K3b to burn a DVD, click Tools > Burn DVD ISO Image, select the .iso image, then click Burn.
