SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is available for download for each available platform as four CD ISO images or two DVD ISO images:
Important: Create the CDs or DVD using the contents of the ISO images. Do not create the CDs or DVD by burning the .iso files themselves to CD or DVD. For example, if you're using K3b to burn a CD, click Tools > CD > Burn CD Image, select the .iso image, then click Burn.
For quick CD or DVD installation instructions, see the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Installation Quick Start.
For more detailed installation instructions, see the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 Installation And Administration Guide.
SUSE Linux Subscription Management Tool (SMT) is required to be able to retrieve updates for Red Hat* Enterprise Linux (RHEL). SMT 11 enables customers that possess the required entitlements to mirror updates for RHEL.
SMT is available as a download to all customers with an active SUSE Linux Enterprise Server subscription and is fully supported. It is packaged as an add-on product to be installed on a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 server. Any SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3, SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux product updated from nu.novell.com can be locally supported via a Subscription Management Tool server.
For instructions on how to prepare SMT server for mirroring and publishing updates for RHEL, please visit How to Update Red Hat Enterprise Linux with SMT 11.
During SMT setup, you will use the mirroring credentials you have received as part of this evaluation that enable time limited access to Novell-provided RHEL update catalogs.
