Those don't take half a minute to appear on a P2/266 w/ 128 MB RAM. And have you ever had xosview running when running YOU?
Hum, since we're already completly off topic, I couldn't resist :) Did anybody checked why YaST2 performs like star office :)? I think yast2 is open source.
First of all, it takes around *half an hour* to complete on some machines of mine (again P2/266 or P2/300 w/ 128 MB RAM)
That's really bad to hear. I write this mail on a P100 with 48MB RAM. This is much more calculation power than needed to fly to the moon :) - but not enough for yast2/suse8? Hum, sad... So SuSE droped support for all those old machines? Until now, I though I can upgrade if the running SuSE ist to old - neccesary, since there are no update RPMs for old distries - and now I have to exchange the servers completly (I don't think it makes sense to upgrade the RAM of P100-P233 if even 128 is too slow). Hum. Well, from 8.0 I think I'll need different setup procedures. I think I'll use a cheap desktop class PC (those with the power and 3D graphics cards :)) to install, and after that the harddrive may be moved into the new old server.
I can only repeat, YaST2 looks promising, but it's much too clunky to be a 'great tool' at the moment.
BTW, I really wonder why every distri needs it's own configure tool... But it is at least nice that YaST2 runs without hardware accelerated OpenGL :-) SCNR. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
