I don't think the effort was worth it. Personally, I don't find the gnome version of the software management module easier. Well - lets hope the "one yast2-web version to rule them all" comes soon, and we can drop the ncurses package manager at the same time as qt and gtk.
Please NO! The fact that you get console mode tool, which works better than GUI on machines with low memory, or where you want to minimise disruption to "daily business" is a selling point of the distro.
Qt v KDE v GTK graphical tool kit stuff is about stylistic differences, whereas ncurses(3) features offer genuine functionality where a graphical environment is inconvenient.
Using web from another machine presupposes that networking is running, you can be in/out with ncurses(3) yast almost before you'ld have logged in & got into YaST, in graphics mode.
Seconded - I regularly use the ncurses version via simple ssh, much quicker even on modern hardware. Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
