Description Ludwig Nussel 2013-06-04 00:57:13 UTC 
In 12.3 we identified that displaying the release notes from the DVD is not the best option today anymore. YaST should download the most current version from the internet instead. That means network needs to be configured independently of the way the system was booted. I suppose linuxrc needs to do that, right?
Comment 1 Steffen Winterfeldt 2013-06-28 02:26:04 UTC 
It's not clear to me where the network setup should happen. But I wouldn't burden
linuxrc when yast can do it better with some nice ui.

I think this belongs to the sles12 install workflow discussion.
Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2013-06-28 03:35:51 UTC 
YaST doesn't do any networking setup during installation, does it? If you install from e.g. http linuxrc runs the dhcp client already IIRC.
Comment 3 Steffen Winterfeldt 2013-06-28 04:28:37 UTC 
It does, when you add community repos or add-on products, afaik.
Comment 4 Ludwig Nussel 2013-06-28 04:40:51 UTC 
In 1st stage? I didn't know that.
Comment 5 Jiri Srain 2013-06-28 04:44:19 UTC 
Yes, in the first stage. Even SLES allows to add an add-on product from a remote repository during installation.
Comment 6 Thomas Fehr 2013-07-01 10:53:43 UTC 
This should be a FATE request.
Suche fundamental changes in install logic should go through Product Management.
Please create FATE request.
Comment 7 Ludwig Nussel 2013-07-01 12:23:14 UTC 
This request comes directly from openSUSE "product management" ... Anyways, here you have a feature request: https://features.opensuse.org/315266
