Loading an AutoYaST profile

The typical way of starting an unattended installation in Agama is by passing the URL of an AutoYaST profile through the inst.auto argument in the kernel's command-line¹. For example:

inst.auto=http://example.net/agama/tumbleweed.xml

Agama takes care of pre-processing and converting the profile to an Agama equivalent. As part of this pre-processing, it supports handling of dynamic profiles, including:

• Rules and classes.
• Embedded Ruby (ERB).
• Pre-installation scripts.
• Ask lists (not implemented yet). Note for developers: fortunately, the code to parse and run the process is there but we need to adapt the user interface, which is not trivial.
