Any other idea?

One of the most interesting ideas in this area came from Neal and the Fedora realm (if I recall and understand him correctly): After an ordinary installation, save that, e.g. in root's root be enabling one switch (Save AutoYaST profile, with an optional comment field), such as this could be loaded from another installation process.

During installation, check USB drives for these files, and allow to recreate this installation, if the user selects one.

I can only second this! FWIW and IIRC, years ago there used to exist a file called autoyast.xml in /root after an installation, so the logic did exist. Dunno if this was SLES only, though.

Also it would be very useful to differentiate the options that user

Thanks

My wishlist from 15.1: The xml should not contain long lists of system users, packages or services, that are just default. - System users should be left to the packages that need them. - Patterns should be used as much as possible to reduce the package list - if possible use patterns and deselect packages. - Services should only show up, when state changed, e.g. from disabled to enabled. Don't know if 15.2 is better at that, since i use a 15.1 xml for 15.2.

Well, if you use "autoyast=usb:///autoinst.xml", AutoYaST will try to fetch the autoinst.xml file from an USB device. It is not done automatically, though.

Yes, you are right. We used to put that file in /root/autoinst.xml. However, we stopped doing it during SLE 12 SP2 times. It turned out that as some things cannot be configured during installation, those options were not included in that file. Rebooting and running "yast2 clone_system" caused a different result.
