It looks like using AutoYast rules.xml file would be a good way to handle this: Ideally, if the hardware meets the requirements, then select the installation profile (passes_requirements.xml) and proceed as normal. One concept I am having a hard time finding docs around is how to flag failure during install. If there's not enough memory or disk to successfully support the application I am installing, I would like to return the fails_requirements.xml profile and show the user an abort message rather than doing the install. Does someone have a pointer to this kind of scenario? I have been searching but not finding much discussion around handling failure during the auto install.
