All my clients start there installation via the network using PXE.
Once at the first installation screen, is it possible to connect via remote to complete the installation?

Not sure if this will help: Network Install - openSUSE
autoyast, lets you automate installs.
The Net Installation, can use HTTP (perhaps with proxy) or a local NFS server with Installation repo (on DVD, or loopback mount of downloaded ISO file). It may be possible to do text expert install over ssh, perhaps after booting CNTRL-ALT-F2 and see what’s in the installation environment. ( I quite often do partitioning and filesystem builds this way). But it’s not a ‘headline’ obvious feature.
This seems to be pointing me in the correct direction. I will check further into this.
Thanks,

If I understand your statement, it sounds like the link that was sent to me by the prior poster.
When I do installs, I download the ISO to my build server that runs DHCPD, NFS, & TFTP. I mount -o loop ISO to INSTALL_FOLDER. A client boots and gets a PXE IP which points points the client to download the kernel files from TFTP. After the kernel is running, it then perform a NFS mount to the install dir and starts the GUI install.
Thansk for looking at my issue…
