The subject was: Why did they remove yast1? Here goes:
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, it appears to work fine - at least the 'install packages' option which I have tried with KDE3. To install it you will have to move three links out of the way:
I am not sure what you mean "out of the way" ????.
What has to be done with the 3 files ?.
/sbin/yast /sbin/YaST /sbin/zast
mv /sbin/yast /sbin/yast.bak mv /sbin/YaST /sbin/YaST.bak mv /sbin/zast /sbin/zast.bak now the rpm will install. Note however that SuSE does as of yet not support this oficially, and that all that I have tested is the option in: Package Management --> Install packages to install or update packages, not any other option to configure the system.
it then installs fine with a:
rpm -i --nodeps --force yast.rpm
from the 7.3 suse cd, cd 1, directory a1.
Since it runs the SuSeconfig of the original 8.0 install afterwards, I do not see why it wouldn't work fine, since you are basically using it as an ftp client...
am I missing something really obvious with yast2, can you install new downloaded packages with it ?
