6.2.3 Customizing the Release Notes
Depending on whether you have changed the instance of SUSE Linux Enterprise you
are deploying with firstboot, you probably need to educate the end users about important
aspects of their new operating system. A standard installation uses release notes, dis-
played during one of the final stages of the installation, to provide important information
to the users. To have your own modified release notes displayed as part of a firstboot
installation, proceed as follows:
1 Create your own release notes file. Use the RTF format as in the example file in
/usr/share/doc/release-notes and save the result as
RELEASE-NOTES.lang.rtf.
2 Store optional localized version next to the original version and replace the lang
part of the filename with the actual language code, such as de for German.
3 Open the firstboot configuration file from /etc/sysconfig/firstboot
and set FIRSTBOOT_RELEASE_NOTES_PATH to the actual directory where
the release note files are stored.
6.2.4 Customizing the Workflow
By default, a standard firstboot workflow includes the following components:
• Language Selection
• Welcome
• License Agreement
• Host Name
• Network
• Time and Date
• Desktop
• root Password
