The network can be used during the installation to retrieve files needed

for the installation. Whether the network is used or not depends on the
101
102
installation method you choose and your answers to certain questions that
102
will be asked during the installation. The installation system supports
103
most types of network connections (including PPPoE, but not ISDN or PPP),
104
via either HTTP or FTP. After the installation is completed, you can also
105
configure your system to use ISDN and PPP.

Please notice that the "Load from Removable Media" task of the Hardware Management Console (HMC)
116
also supports installations from a CD-/DVD-ROM or even a USB media that is plugged into the HMC.
117
Since these media are not local to the &arch-title; system (LPAR, virtual machine) that you are going to install,
118
it is a different approach compared to a distributed system and special to the &arch-title; platform.
