Autoyast2 - Disable graphical installation
Hello, we are currently testing the automation of Linux installations. (SLES 8) So far, everything works pretty good, but there is still one detail we would like to improve: Before the installation begins a X server is started to provide a graphical installation. Since we do not think it is necessary to have a graphical installation (with xserver) for an automatic installation we are searching for a solution to avoid this. How can I tell the system not to start xserver whilst installation but install in textmode? (the same effect as pressing F2 (text mode) in the boot menue when booting from a SuSE CD) A parameter for the bootloader would be most convenient. We have already tried to use "vga=normal", but this parameter does not work. Thanks in advance, - Matthias Redlich

The parameter is textmode=1 See also the autoinst manual, 6.2.
