In some occasion I need to perform a remote installation. I reboot the machine and make it start the agama installer automatically, I point my browser to the IP of the machine and then I can proceed with the installation. However, if somebody is in front of the remote machine, he/she can see what I'm doing and possibly interfere. In order to avoid that, I can pass to agama the option: systemd.unit=multi-user.target as described here: https://agama-project.github.io/docs/user/reference/boot_options.
That does the trick, however there is a drawback. The option "systemd.unit=multi-user.target" meant for the installation process is also present in the installed system in the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in the file /etc/default/grub.
The installed system does not reach the graphic target unless I manually remove such option.

This is not the only option that, while it is meant for the installer, it is also present in the installed system.
Others I have found so fare are:
iso-scan/filename=<file>
brd.rd_nr=1

And talking about multi-user.target/graphic.target agama should offer in the GUI the option to select the final target on the installed system as yast did.
