Actually I am already at looking at the source I have with 7.2 and will be downloading 7.3's when I at least understand what i'm dealing with. However since there is no 8 yet available to me (I am awaiting it's arrival at my supplier) I am limited at what I can do. The thing that I will be wanting (anyone know where it would be kept) is the changelog for yast2 between 7 and 8, as that should give me pointers what has changed in the change of format and needs altering in yast to make it compatable. However, I think your missing my main point of contention. I'm screaming because they did it without giving users advance notice that they were going to do so. I'm expected to change my processes and learn the equivalent steps without having time to differentiate. As one who has never had to use Yast2, as yast has been able to do everything I need to do (?lucky me), that's why I'm unhappy . If it was an application firm that was doing this or even M$ there would be such a scream and law suites threatened that they'd be putting a "patch" release out the next day saying they just missed putting it on the cd's. scsijon ps to another, don't blame me for anothers mail message, I just used it as a pointer to show people are unhappy.

:FYI: Why did they remove yast1
IT was kind of funny because my letter consisted of "There are things in YaST which are NOT in YaST2" and the form-letter-response starts right off talking about how YaST2 has more features then YaST ever had.... the liars. Keep it up SuSE, and you won't have any customers left in a few years. If, as they say, YAST1 is uneconomical to maintain alongside YAST2, then Open Source it and let us maintain it ourselves !

:suse 8.0 so how are we supposed to install rpms in a batch now yast1 : is gone :(
Ok, scsijon-tpg, Go for it and quit your bitchin'! The source code is there waiting for you to do with it as you please, just don't try to sell it later! If you had something to whine about, it would be different, but everything is available to do the things you did with Yast1, using other programs. If you would get your head out of your butt and learn to use the newer more useful programs available, you would find there are no grounds for all your whining! Of course, if you are too old and set in your ways to make change, I guess we can understand that too. ;o)
But if you are bitchin' & whining just to hear yourself yell or if it seems to make you feel better doing it, then do it quietly please the rest of us are ok with the changes SuSE has made!
