You can specify a kernel boot parameter at start up, autoyast=<URL>

Or grab YaST CD creator, that is capable to put the profile on a CD,
including a boot menu entry:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/noarch/yast2
-cd-creator-2.14.0-20.noarch.rpm

I have not been able to look at this since last week ... but I did
read through the manual, and it seemed as though perhaps the boot
parameter option would work, but I thought it said that the
autoyast=url was to specify the "control file", which I think is
different from the autoyast.xml that is created at install time?

Yes, control file is the XML file generated by AutoYaST or by the cloning at
the end of the installation.


Are you saying that I can put the autoyast.xml on a floppy, then boot
the system from the dvd, and in the boot parameters put autoyast=(url
to floppydrive/filename) and it will work?

Yes.


If so, THANK YOU! and ... why can't it ever just say that, in the
documentation? Gees!

Looks like the documentation needs some cleanup.
