Thanks for your reply, Tim. Do you know where I might find some documentation on just what Yast2 and suseconfig are doing
I couldn't tell you what YaST2 does, but you can see what does on behind SuSEconfig using 'less /sbin/SuSEconfig' because SuSEconfig is just a script. YaST2 does some other configuration, but quite a bit of it is done through setting variables in /etc/rc.config, which SuSEconfig then uses. It isn't actually a 'boot concept', but more a configuration system. It still allows you to edit files by hand if you want (as I frequently do) but make life easier for those who don't have the time or the necessary experience to hand-edit files.

SuSEconfig is GREAT!!!! <g> Seriously, SuSEconfig is more than just a boot concept - it's an administration system. SuSEconfig centralizes system settings in the rc.config config file, so that YaST2 (or YaST) can change the rc.config file and have SuSEconfig distribute the changes throughout the entire system. This makes it extremely easy even for manual config changes, because you can simply open rc.config in PICO or Kedit, or even via YaST or an option rc.config editor module for YaST2. I personally think SuSE has the most advanced, yet easiest to use configuration system around. It's well worth getting use to.
