Environment

Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10

Situation

An autoyast configuration file needs to be generated to clone an existing system, without use of the YaST2 GUI module.

Resolution

Run the command:

yast2 clone_system

to automatically generate the xml config file. The output is stored as /root/autoinst.xml by default.
