Linux install from NIM

Has anyone ever done this and is it easy to do with SLES9/10? All I can find so far is this link
http://www-941.ibm.com/collaboration...+VIO+and+Linux

Can you still use all the feature of autoyast etc?

TIA.

I've not tried it but suse runs fine on power4 and 5 so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
I think yast is still rather basic on power though, you might need to do a bit more than usual from the command line.
