Can SuSE put it in update for 8.0 dir. ?

Nope, we won't do it. For us, YaST1 is dead. Putting YaST1 in update would mean we would have to adapt it to SuSE Linux 8.0 which we won't do. Philipp

Just a quick question on this subject. Is yast2 now usable in console mode? A by usable I mean that, not just executable!

Tom

imho Its ok'ish. Its irritating to have to keep pressing Alt-L to launch options when you think that <Enter> would be the correct key. But its ok. Lets face it Yast1 was not pretty, but it was very good function wise and was pretty intuitive. Yast2 has some more catching up to do. dids

I used YaST1 to install on my Compaq Presario 1620 with 80M of memory under 7.1 because YaST2 required more memory. If YaST2 won't install with those memory constraints, then my laptop is dead as a SuSE laptop. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- "Michael E.

The documentation states that YaST2's GUI install requires 64M of ram. I really don't see any reason why you laptop would become useless. Give the install a go..it should work with 80M of ram.

It will work surely. I have been installing it on my old laptop which had just 64mbyte of ram. The SuSEconfig part was not fast, but not any slower than ever. And yast2 went pretty good. Praise

Phillip, I really think SuSE are shooting themselves in their collective feet with this attitude.... How about allowing a select group to modify and maintain it ? Any takers ?

Please, I do read the list so additional private mails aren't necessary. Jon Biddell [20020506 21:45:34 +1000]:

What restricts you? The sources are on the CDs/DVD and open for anyone. The only restriction is, that you can't use it in a commercial product of your own without approval from SuSE. So it *is* free for anybody to grab. I just very seriously doubt that anybody will actually work on those sources, provided that there is no support from SuSE. Philipp
