yeah, looks like autoyast support was dropped. Btw, LPRNG support will be dropped in the next release.
What??? Are you kidding? I know it's not your decision, but how can SuSE drop lprng??? cups is so far from being as stable as lpr is, so how can SuSE remove that... What comes next, dropping lilo for grub?
Doh! There are some Unix classics that should never be missed in a Linux distribution, and lpr(ng) is definitely one of them :-(
SUSE won't drop LPRng (or lpdfilter or any other package needed for printing via LPRng). What will be dropped is the support for LPRng/lpdfilter in YaST (and AutoYaST). And regarding LILO/GRUB: GRUB is the preferred bootloader. But there are still machines with broken BIOSes where GRUB doesn't work properly (or doesn't work at all). That's why LILO can't be dropped in the near future - neither the package itself nor the (Auto)YaST support. -- Regards, Jiri Srain YaST2 developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: jsrain@suse.cz Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 2 9654 2373 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 2 9654 2374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz
