I know it is beta, it is not the first time I use factory. But at
least I expect bugs to be acknowledged and be told how to repair, if
possible, or how long to wait for a patch. Feedback goes in both
directions, you know.

And yes, I've been using yast in ncurses mode, now and for years
before now. To me, it is quite difficult or cumbersome to use, because:

 - It doesn't allow mouse clicking: Midnight Commander, Alpine... use
the mouse in text mode, in xterms.
 - Tab cycles, but you can't back-cycle by alt-tab.
 - To exit a menu I have to type Esc-Esc-Esc-[space|cursor]
 - Some options are missing or I can't find them: for instance, I
wasn't able to configure my printer.

This is not new, it has always been so.

And then, instead of testing the features I was expecting to test, I
find unexpected bugs that turn out to be unwanted, un-thought,
features, like this automated hibernation thing, that I can't disable
system-wide.
