AutoYaST
Bugs are reported via bugzilla.novell.com and assigned to autoyast-maintainers@suse.de
The official SLES AutoYaST documentation is located on github.
Changes should only be checked in into the develop branch.
When the documentation department supplies a new tarball containing AutoYaST documentation following steps are needed:
- unpack the tarball
- make sure the owner of the files is root and file permissions are okay
- re-generate the tarball with a directory structure like: 'autoyast/index.html'
- replace old documentation tarball in build service
There are several AutoYaST xml files for testing in https://github.com/yast/yast-autoinstallation/tree/master/test_xml
Passwords in these files have been replace by the string "pw". Most of the files expect /dev/sdb to be present which should be used for the automatic installation.
It makes sense to enable networking if the autoyast.xml should be retrieved from a remote location.
Boot parameters: autoyast=http://example.org/autoyast.xml netsetup=dhcp
If you want to alter files in the installation system before you run YaST or want to collect logs, you can set the boot parameter startshell=1. You will get a shell prompt as soon as the system is up. When done with changes you simply type yast to start the installation workflow.
In case you cannot alter files because it's a read-only file system, you can simply rename the subtree, create a writeable subdir and copy files over. E.g.:
cd /usr/share/YaST2
mv clients clients.old
mkdir clients
cp clients.old/* clients/
