GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR in /etc/default/grub can be used to change the EFI name to something else besides openSUSE, which may be desired when multibooting TW and other openSUSE version(s). Is there a way to do this during installation? I would think it might be in the Bootloader Options tab, but if it's there, its non-obvious, and web search for a doc to cover the subject doesn't seem to be able to find anything, same as /usr/share/doc/.
Hi Felix, There is not such option. We had it in past, but it was problematic because it was hard to propose on multi boot system. But we still allow you to set it and then yast2-bootloader does not modify it and keep it as it is. So in short, no support in UI as for majority of users it is fine to keep default, but if you modify it yourself then yast will respect it.
Is it accessible to modify from vtty2 at some point during installation, so that it never gets an opportunity to usurp an existing installation's files on the ESP partition? If yes, when, and where?
well, what will work is if you modify it after grub2 installation and before yast2 writes bootloader ( on Leap 15 or TW ) (but there is not pause there). Another option is when installation ends up, then mount againt disk and modify it + run grub2-mkconfig and grub2-install. Third option is to have own rpm that install after grub2 and modify in post inst that file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
