No, thats unfortunatly not possible at the moment. for a older distro=20
I made a script that automaticly installs the system with autoYaST on the=

computer... All settings for the installation could be done by editing a=20

not work on newer distros and it's only in a pre beta state.

If there is more interest in an automatic installation of SuSE=20
linux without any need for a braille disply, I could try to make a newr=20
script htat is more stable.
