Feature changed by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Feature #308539, revision 3 Title: Import/Export of YaST installation settings openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Configuring the installation settings in YaST (timezone, partitioning, packages) takes some time. When you then hit a bug in the installer (i. e. partitioning failure) forcing you to restart, things get annoying. This request is asking for an import/export option in YaSTs 'installation settings' overview. (Actually, the 'import' is needed much earlier ...) Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Usability. Disaster recovery. Discussion: #1: andrea florio (anubisg1) (2009-12-15 17:19:12) i usually do that using autoyast.. can you please explain better the difference? + #2: Klaus Kämpf (kwk) (2009-12-15 18:19:40) (reply to #1) + Getting to the 'installation settings' dialog in YaSTs installation + workflow can imply a lot of work. It did for me since I did a special + partitioning (encrypted "/home") and package selection. Having an + 'export' functionality at this point during the install workflow + appears as straightforward/natural to me. + Using AutoYaST is fine, its just not obvious how to do that in the + install workflow. The autoyast profile is saved at the end(!) of the + installation, but thats a) too late (in case partitioning crashes as it + happened to me) and b) non-obvious. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308539
