7 Running AutoYaST in an Installed System

In some cases it is useful to run AutoYaST in a running system.

In the following example, an additional software package (foo) is going to be installed. To run this software, a user needs to be added and an NTP client needs to be configured.

The respective AutoYaST profile needs to include a section for the package installation (Section 4.9.6, “Installing Packages in Stage 2”), a user (Section 4.29.1, “Users”) section and an NTP-client (Section 4.20, “NTP Client”) section:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<profile xmlns="http://www.suse.com/1.0/yast2ns" xmlns:config="http://www.suse.com/1.0/configns">

Store this file as /tmp/install_foo.xml and start the AutoYaST installation process by calling:

yast2 ayast_setup setup filename=/tmp/install_foo.xml dopackages="yes"

For more information, run yast2 ayast_setup longhelp
