It's perfectly okay to use this list for reporting bugs.  Wating for our
bug tracking system to go public...  feedback@xxxxxxx is another
possibility, but at this moment the feedback folder is very crowed (=
Linux is very popular.)  Burchard (or better: his wife) is expecting
another nice child (their first one, Mona, is great -- but sorry, I'm
digressing).

Please, keep on reporting bugs here; this way, we all can learn a little
bit more about the system :)

You've to know one, who has to know one, who knows Linus ;-)

|   diagnostics in `/usr/local/man', presuming these are not related to SuSE.
|   
|   Oh, YaST does not seem to identify itself in that `Config.bootup'
|   file.

Should it do so?  Perhaps a good idea.

|   Since there are many YaST versions, this might be a useful thing to do.

Okay, that's an arguement.  Also SuSEconfig might add a version
information.

Yes, ugly -- but fixed by now.
