Steffen, what's the reason why linuxrc cannot download whole directory the same
way YaST does (first check directory.yast and then download files one-by-one)?
YaST needs support for product license by linuxrc. On the YaST side, the only
possible workaround is to initialize the software repository earlier
(immediatelly after language is selected), IMO this would not help the user
experience.
I see following ways to solve this issue:
1. make Linuxrc download whole directory
2. we can ship /media.1/license.zip in addition to the /media.1/license/
directory
3. we can ship the licenses as a part of the root image (inst-sys), then no
download is needed
2. and 3. bring some data duplication on the media (I don't think it is
significant, since both .zip and squashfs are compressed
2. prevents installation if one is behind an evil proxy, which does not allow
to download .zip files
