My own thoughts on Yast are that more help should be available in installing 
things like scanner backends,wireless network cards etc. 'Cryptic' messages 
telling the installer that additional software uploads or similar are of 
little use to the novice user who may very well be turned off at that point.
For instance there is Linux software release by Lexmark that will operate my 
Z33 printer but I had to go to an outside source to find instructions on how 
to use it. 
Cannot S.A.N.E. be integrated into the scanner setup better?
The list goes on.
