This standard layout of a firstboot installation workflow is not mandatory. You can
enable or disable certain components or hook your own modules into the workflow.
To modify the firstboot workflow, manually edit the firstboot configuration file /etc/
YaST2/firstboot.xml. This XML file is a subset of the standard control.xml
file that is used by YaST to control the installation workflow.
The following overview provides you with enough background to modify the firstboot
installation workflow. In it, see the basic syntax of the firstboot configuration file and
how the key elements are configured.
Example 6.1 Configuring the Proposal Screens
<proposals config:type="list">
</proposals>
The container for all proposals that should be part of the firstboot workflow.
The container for an individual proposal.
The internal name of the proposal.
The mode of this proposal. Do not make any changes here. For a firstboot instal-
lation, this must be set to installation.
