Yast2 dropped feature requested again: live-installer

[Phazeus]

Hello All!
I am very confused and sad about yast2-live-installer dropping from Yast2 features.
It was very-very useful and important feature, which was allowed to:
1. Install system "as is" (with all modifications) in current condition, booted from Live ISO images;
2. Cloning current already installed system "as is" to another HDD/SSD/Flash (etc.);
3. Backup current system in current condition to some device, image, etc.

I has use it in my own-makes Live images, creates with susestudio/kiwi (has add this package self with some fixes) and when I was need to migrate my system to another HDD. After adding "ng" packages in Yast2 I can't solve their dependencies any more

Hope, this most greatest and useful feature, giving advantage before other distros, will return in Yast2 again!
With giant hope, Alexander.

See if Calamares will work for you...

https://software.opensuse.org/package/calamares

Calamares is a distribution-independent installer framework, designed to install from a live CD/DVD/USB environment to a hard disk. It includes a graphical installation program based on Qt 5. Calamares can replace YaST2 Live Installer.

Please try Calamares 3.1.0 version from one of these repositories
home:embar-:calamares
home:sb56637:calamares
See also http://software.opensuse.org/package/calamares

note: you must add full repository for calamares, because without
related dependencies if will not work.

Becides, you can also try mostly fixed yast2-live-installer 3.1.11 from
home:embar-:boo1011147
See http://software.opensuse.org/package...live-installer
repository. This RPM can be installed without adding repository.

Thanks, I'll gonna try it ...

Calamares don't meet my needs. It can't tune filesystems, mount points, mount flags and many many needed options. Sadly, but I gonna migrate to Ubuntu
Thanks.

I create my own appliance with susestudio and KIWI since 2013 (SteelLinux), I not need distro, I need Live-installer, which will be able to install my current system to drive "as is" with features like they was in Yast2-live-installer ...
