A.2 The parmfile—Automating the
System Configuration
The installation process can be partly automated by specifying the crucial parameters
in the parmfile. The parmfile contains all the data required for network setup
and DASD configuration. In addition to that, it can be used to set up the connection
method to the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation system and the YaST instance
running there. User interaction is thus limited to the actual YaST installation controlled
by YaST dialogs.
