----------------

Short documentation on installer


The installer is written in YCP: installation.ycp
It implements a linked list of sub-modules to model a next/back controlled
workflows. The list is defined as 'list modules'.

Calling a module
----------------

Every module is called with at least 3 arguments
Args(0)        if 'back' button is enabled
Args(1)        if 'next' button is enabled
Args(2)        boolean: true if we're going backwards
        (module was entered by clicking 'back' on the next
         dialogue)


Result of a module call
-----------------------

The result value of a module is a quoted symbol
or nil if an error occured

The normal value of the result is the 'exit' code from the module.

`next        User pressed 'Next'
`back        User pressed 'Back'
`auto        Module did nothing (no user interaction)
        fallthrough to next (or previous) module
`again        Call module again (no change in workflow)
`cancel        User pressed 'Cancel' (if available)
