Is there a way to easily force FIRSTBOOT to run the X11 and Network setup screen sections of YAST after a ghost image is loaded to a new machine? I have looked over the doc and I _think _it would involve adding information to the control.xml file under the firstboot section, but I am uncertain how to proceed. Basically I would like "firstboot" to behave as sysprep does for XP. I would also like to turn off the resetting of the root password... I don't want the user's changing the root password. Is it as simple as commenting out that section under "firstboot" in the control.xml file?

Anthony, Something like that would provide what you want. I did not test, but it should work. This is from the NLD control file. The file to be changed is in /var/lib/YaST2. You can keep or remove some parts of the network and hardware screens, here I remove most of the sections and left those you are interested in.

Anas, Thanks for your help!! Is what you have included the entire file, or a patch of some sort for the existing control.xml file.

Anthony, This is a patch, so you can see what changes need to be done. Anas Anthony Staples wrote:
