    Hi All,

    I am wanting to set up a home network, I have been playing with SLES 8 &
    9 and know that it has the ability to create an install server so you
    can use AutoYast and that there is the facility to create an update
    server so that you can pull your updates from one of your servers
    instead of each computer pulling them accross the internet.

    I have been looking in Yast with SUSE Pro 9.2 and i dont seem to be able
    to find the tools for creating an install point, or for configuring an
    update server. I have found out how to configure the clients for an
    update from one of my servers but cannot work out how to do the server
    side.

    If anyone can provide some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks and Cheers
