AutoYaST includes a feature that allows binding certain profiles to the client's MAC
address. Without having to alter the autoyast= parameter, you can have the same
setup install several different instances using different profiles.
To use this, proceed as follows:
1 Create separate profiles with the MAC address of the client as the filename and
put them on the HTTP server that holds your AutoYaST profiles.
