Network install of Opensuse using Windows PC as server?

There is any tutorial that explains how to install Opensuse 11 from LAN using another windows computer as server? I have a Laptop computer with no DVD and the usb method install doesn´t work!

Thanks

Hi
Have a look here, there is one on PXE, another for installing from
windows or other OS.

Hi
There are windows tftp servers, solarwinds have a free one. The other
option is a vm on the windows machine.

There was the other link, if you have a windows OS on the target
machine.

I guess you could always remove the HDD from the notebook and install a
boot image (Install from USB on a small partition) and replace the
drive in the target machine.
