[opensuse-autoinstall] prompt user for root password and optionally add a new user to system
Hello. This is my first question on this list so let me know if I started a stupid question: is it possible to set up autoyast so that during installation the installer ASK user for root password and ASK USER optionally add a new user to system (and decide if he should auto-login)? I read the document and I know how to define default root password and add a user in yast configuration. Here the expected result is user enter their root password themselves. Is it possible?

Hello. In the campus we have setup a SuSE Mirror (the first we had in campus) that include online installation service. We are going to distribute community SuSE installation CDROM on the next LUG event.
Here is the question: can we modify OPENSUSE mini-install CDROM so that when it boot: I. it automatically select Simplified Chinese as main language and US as keyboard layout (it's too hard to find non-US keyboard here); II. it automatically select network installation, type is FTP and server host name, path are automatically filled; III. it automatically launch yast to start the installation
I have heard of autoyast but as far as I know the kind of automatic we want (described as step 1-3 above) are BEFORE yast starts, does autoyast also cover my situation?
(I think the one with graphic user interface is yast, the steps 1-3 done on a console is not yet yast, correct me if I am wrong)
Thank you!
Hi, I think that autoyast covers perfectly your needs. This could be very helpful http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.0/autoinstall/
Good luck! ;)

Do anyone know a solution? Or simply let me know if I missed some document or this is not possible at all. We have been stuck here for pretty long time ...

Well, this is supposed to be a fully, automated, unattended install. I.e., no prompts. On our site we set a simple password automatically, and then change the password as part of post configuration. Maybe you could set some params on the root users password, forcing the user to change password on first login. I think the user section in the XML looks like this: <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted> <fullname>root</fullname> <gid>0</gid> <home>/root</home> <password_settings> <expire></expire> <flag></flag> <inact></inact> <max></max> <min></min> <warn></warn> </password_settings> <shell>/bin/bash</shell> <uid>0</uid> <user_password></user_password> <username>root</username> </user> I would guess that the "expire" tag could be useful. Just my 2 cents... /Lars

to let the user decide the root password, try the <ASK> feature: http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/CreateProfile.Ask.html -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
