There are many ways to teak the installer and people keep asking for more.
We are discussing use cases and ways to improve things on github:

Regarding this topic, Ladislav did a great presentation today about this
POC [1]. I have some doubts about this approach (having an "installer
console"), so I would like to open the discussion here:
* Having a console to do "whatever" could lead to tons of misuses (and
bug reports).
* YaST users might be not that accustomed to run "yast commads". After
all, current yast CLI is not that well shaped.
* Opening a console to configure the installer sounds a bit tricky.
Personally, I would prefer to have some dialog to configure the
installer. I see it more understandable and easier to use:
* Configuration options would be more discoverable.
* Options would be clearly limited to only what we offer in the config
dialog.
* It would be less tricky on text mode.
One of the thing I would expect is to avoid to use many of the current
linuxrc parameters in order to affect YaST. I would like to open a
configuration dialog and tweak the installer directly there.
What do you think?
Regards,
Iván
