Answering my own question i need to rebuild the initrd and configure linuxrc parameters for this system: http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc On Fri, May 22, 2009 at 10:53 AM, Leonardo L. P. da Mata wrote:

Hello, I'm thinking about a new usage of AutoYast (or at least a new in my head), I'm thinking about building an automatic system recovery for OpenSuse.

The idea is to install a system and then create an image of the installed system and store into a partition of the disk.

This partition will contain the installer, with an autoyast.xml script that will use this image to automatic restore the installed system (like Sony does in its Notebooks).

I can boot the installer through the HD, but i can't use autoyast. I don't know how to change the options on the manual-installer to use the autoyast. if i enter in the expert mode i can change config passing "autoysat=file:///autoyast.xml", but i don't know how to boot through the HD in the expert mode. Can you help-me?

How do i change the "install url: cd:/" option?

It is possible to change the installer to automatic look for the data in the HD instead of CD or USB?

Is there any detailed documentation about the installation process?

As conception sounds good, but I need to mature this idea, do you have any suggestions, information or ideas to give?

Thanks.
