Hi  All, 

Despite using autoyast for years and knowing it quite well, I still get 
confused at exactly what point various scripts run at, and when yast reboots 
at. 

I think I've nearly got it, but I'd welcome someone looking over this list, 
and correcting it where it's wrong. 

[* rules file is downloaded and processed
* one of more profile fragments are downloaded and merged]
OR 
[* the full profile is downloaded.]

* any pre scripts are ran
* Ask commands are ran and user interaction runs. 
* installation confirmation screen is shown. 
* 1st part of the installation starts
* chroot=false chroot scripts are ran. 
* installer chroots into the new system. 
* chroot=true chroot scripts run.
* yast configures the system
* post install scripts run
At this point, I'm confused. When are post install scripts with 
network_needed=true and network_needed=false ran, what is the difference in 
the environments they run it ?

* system reboots
* init scripts run

I also need to look at classes and figure out how they fit into the picture. 
As I understand it right now, they are similar to a #include in that they 
cause AY to merge a new profile in if the current profice has a class 
definition in it. 


Thanks.
