Feature #310658, revision 1
Title: bypass "partitioning" option for pre-partitioned installation targets 
  
openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed
Priority 
    Requester: Desirable 
 
Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) 
 
Description: 
Mandriva provides installation cmdline option that I always use:     readonly=1 
This causes normal partitioning steps to be bypassed. No creatiion, deletion, 
or modification of existing partitions is possible. Instead is presented a list 
of Linux native partitions for mountpoint selection, mount options selection, 
whether to format, and format to use. This is handy for both advanced users 
like myself, and for frequently repeated installs, such as development 
milestones. It can save significant time initializing an installation, and it 
can avoid some opportunities for mistakes in one of the more dangerous and 
difficult installation phases. It would be excellent for openSUSE to have a 
similar installation option.
