In the present case, the suggestion to use YAST was spot on and
the exact advice needed.

The OP (You) was wandering around in text mode peeking and poking at scripts
and not making any progress.

This indicated that the OP TOTALLY missed the fact that this functionality
is bundled up into Yast in a very workable way.

That the OP (you) knew enough about Linux to poke around in scripts suggests
that if merely pointed in the right direction (yast) there would be
every likelihood that the problem would be easily handled by Yast, and
the OP had simply missed this option.

Further questions could certainly be asked if Yast was unclear, but to
avoid insulting the intelligence of the OP, its pretty common and decent
thing to do to just give the name of the tool, and assume if more help
is needed a more focused question could be asked after looking down
the path suggested.
