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.

workflow. The basic syntax of the firstboot configuration file and how the key elements
are configured is explained with this example.
