Hi,

probably it is mostly the same as with SuSE 10?

So create an image-file with dd, format it and mount it as 
loopback-device. Then you can make an "install into directory" from 
YaST, after finishing copy over a known passwd/users/groups to be able 
to login and create the fstab. To get networking running it may be a 
good idea to set the mac-address on a fixed value in the domU-config and 
set the STARTMODE="onboot" for the ethernet-if.

Everything else is standard.

I don't think so, because SLES is not free, or?

Chau y hasta luego,
