YaST implies lots of artificial intelligence to provide reasonable suggestions for the various tasks. During installation the target system is thoroughly analyzed with respect to its hardware components and in most cases YaST succeeds in suggesting a proper configuration for them.

These suggestions are presented in an overview dialog that shows the main characteristics of the system to be installed and how YaST would handle them. If you are satisfied with these automatically generated settings you can simply accept them. If not, each of the system configuration categories can be “activated” to be changed manually. This is where the workflows come into their own.
