20.2.3 Customizing the Release Notes
Depending on whether you have changed the instance of SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server you are deploying with firstboot, you probably need to educate the end users
about important aspects of their new operating system. A standard installation uses re-
lease notes, displayed during one of the final stages of the installation, to provide im-
portant information to the users. To have your own modified release notes displayed
as part of a firstboot installation, proceed as follows:
1 Create your own release notes file. Use the RTF format as in the example file in
/usr/share/doc/release-notes
and save the result as
RELEASE-NOTES.en.rtf
(for English).
2
Store optional localized versions next to the original version and replace the
en
part of the filename with the actual ISO 639 language code, such as
de
for Ger-
man.
3
Open the firstboot configuration file from
/etc/sysconfig/firstboot
and set
FIRSTBOOT_RELEASE_NOTES_PATH
to the actual directory where
the release notes files are stored.
20.2.4 Customizing the Workflow
By default, a standard firstboot workflow includes the following components:
• Language Selection
