Hi Felix, What version do you use? If factory, then new installation work-flow do
I thought the forum title implied Factory. What yast development is going on for distro version(s) already released?
You can be surprised how often people ask about recently released or older release. So I just want to be sure.
not contain second stage (first boot). So it is correct that it do not show and also that there is no work-flow. Intention is that because majority of users use autoconfig, then configure it in first stage and other can modify what they need using yast modules. It also allows to install system with no yast on it, if someone want it or want to manage configuration automatic e.g. via chef or puppet.
I saw recent mention that stage 2 was no longer, but misunderstood what stage 2 was, and for that matter what yast2-firstboot is about. I thought stage 2 had to do with loading the installation system, not to with the installation process once begun. Now I know I'm no longer supposed to expect to see a yast2 GUI doing whatever it used to do on first boot and just go right to the login manager.
To explain it. Installation used to have two parts. First one is install rpms, partitioning and what is done before reboot/kexec. Second part is firstboot, which configure system after during its first boot and you do not need DVD for it as it just run predefined yast modules on installed system. yast2-firstboot is needed if you use autoyast, because to preserve autoyast behavior you need to do configuration in modules that is not available in inst-sys on DVD, so firstboot run only for autoyast now.
