How do I invoke an AutoYaST installation?
linuxrc
Options
linuxrc
is a small program that runs after the kernel has
loaded, but before AutoYaST or other stages. It prepares the system for
installation. It allows the user to load modules, start an installed system
or a rescue system, and to guide the operation of YaST.
Significant changes in openSUSE Leap 15, like the new modules concept or
replacing SuSEfirewall2 with firewalld
, required changes in AutoYaST. If you
want to reuse existing openSUSE Leap 42.3 profiles with
openSUSE Leap 15, you need to adjust them as documented here.
