You see? I told you I didn't understand what you mean. :-) Well, it should be fairly easy to get the install workflow going: - make sure you have all the yast packages we have during install - create /etc/install.inf (use an existing one and adjust the zypprepourl entry) - create an empty file /.instsys.config so yast thinks it's in install mode - get the matching /control.xml (the one from dvd) Then it should basically work. In any case, this is a completely unsupported scenario and any patches required will likely have to come from whoever wants to see this working.
