This is not new, the 13.x series used it. And before, it was used for a few years. It disappeared with Leap 42.x
It is a normal installation ISO with a partition table and at least one partition, that is bootable and contains the live image. The first time it boots, it checks where it is, sees that it s an USB stick, and creates a writeable partition on the remainder of the stick. The system runs from the live partition but sends the writes to that partition, as an overlay.
Very cool. I hope though that the user is prompted prior to any of that is done, yes? Also, is the user allowed to select which filesystem(s) are installed?
(Relevant to this thread not at all, the search engines don't make it easy to find Leap 15. :^\ )
Even further off topic..... This seems to be exactly how SLES for Raspberry PI works as well. Some sort of magical on-the-fly repartitioning of the MicroSD card. Voodoo. And perfectly opaque as far as the user is concerned. I've install SLES Raspberry, and it seems quite stable. I'm now looking for a suitable work load that I can use it for. The installation works quite well. Now if I could just get SUSE to quote an OFFICIAL price for this it would be great. Don't really intend to pay $700 for a license after the 60 day evaluation period expires. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
