Branched from :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 ! and :suse 8.0 so how are we supposed to install rpms in a batch now yast1 is gone :( At 12:44 PM 5/4/02 +0000, dids wrote:
And no, you're not missing something obvious. We are all missing something that SuSE obviously missed creating the new Yast. ;-) Please send your complaints about this to feedback@suse.de

and get no answer! <comment> I do like the sugestion (above) from Jon Biddell about SuSe Open Sourcing Yast1. From the number of people screaming over it's loss (including me), i'm sure there are enough people that would work on it, enhance it to do everything Yast2 can do in text mode, include the ability to handle the other linux versions file package formats, then as others see what it can do give it the ability to be useable by other Linux Versions, then spread it across the Linux world as a cross platform standard. Or maybe that's what SuSE are afraid of and that's why they won't. scsijon </comment>
