If I install from the 6.4 cdrom, booting from the cdrom, with NUMLOCKS ON enabled in bios, the screen output confuses "z" and "y" In other words, if I type "yast" the system runs yast, but echos "zast" to the terminal window.
Actually, the output is not wrong, but the input is.
As others have explained, you probably had a German keyboard (or at least the computer thought you had). However to help in this situation, SuSE wisely decided to make a symbolic link for YaST, so that you could type 'zast' instead. If you look closely, you might even notice that 'yast' is also merely a link to 'YaST'.
That is unbeleivable. I would have thought that suse would have taken the time to put another query about the keyboard in the setup routine. Talk about a quick and dirty fix......!!! :-)
Actually, the zast symbolic link is a feature, not a 'quick and dirty fix'. This link also exists on my SuSE 6.3, and I also believe it existed in 5.3 (My first SuSE). It probably existed since SuSE 4.2. Regards Ole -- Windows: Where do you want to go today? MacOS: Where do you want to be tomorrow?
