Feature changed by: Jean Delvare (jdelvare) Feature #310658, revision 2 Title: bypass "partitioning" option for pre-partitioned installation targets openSUSE-11.4: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Mandriva provides installation cmdline option that I always use: readonly=1 This causes normal partitioning steps to be bypassed. No creatiion, deletion, or modification of existing partitions is possible. Instead is presented a list of Linux native partitions for mountpoint selection, mount options selection, whether to format, and format to use. This is handy for both advanced users like myself, and for frequently repeated installs, such as development milestones. It can save significant time initializing an installation, and it can avoid some opportunities for mistakes in one of the more dangerous and difficult installation phases. It would be excellent for openSUSE to have a similar installation option. + Discussion: + #1: Jean Delvare (jdelvare) (2016-02-01 16:39:16) + I like the idea. This feature would be consistent with the ability we + already have to preserve the SSH host keys of the installed system (by + default) and the user accounts (optionally.) + This could be implemented as an alternative to the fully manual + partition setup: read the previous system's /etc/fstab and pre-fill the + mount points. Then let the user adjust and continue. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310658
