This is a mail that I send to Andreas some days ago: It is a reply so the start is not like a normal startpost.
====================================
People are confused by seeing Httpserver, DNS-server and so on in YaST. YaST is great but at this moment it becomes 'unorganised' (posted a bugzilla on that some month ago) in the way that it offers to much that is not needed (and not properly bundeld). Same thing is the case at this moment in SL 10.1 with ZEN (not in one screen but 3 apps)
Another thing about YaST is the following:
At this moment YaST is used to install SL/oS. Looking at other distro's and OS's it is great and it works. But it is not _that_ good looking and not _that_ simple and fast to use. Maybe an idea for 10.3 to pimp the install and change some things....
Idea 1: Do not use 'windows' like we do use it now. It should be a fullscreen 'background'. That way you can change the background of the installer every release and that would be nice. Look at the links and scoll that page. That looks nice to mr. Joe Average!

look nice, but there are a lot of gui problem Freespire Verbose Bootsplash hard to read something Freespire Keyboard Layout, list box not enougt big all other screenshot look similar to suse.... is just the look is not similar changing every release disturb the user
Idea 2: Let the user select what screens he/she wants to use default: default/expert. On every screen in default there will be an option to see expert-options but you don't have to make the choice every time.
if i want to partiionning my hd, i would like to go in expert mode.... that not necessary true for other screen
Idea 3: This one is stolen from Vista. Drop those radiobuttons (round things) and replace it with an nice arrow that directly reponse.
Idea 4: Do not show more information the needed in default. I don't care what step I have had and which one will come next. So the progress-tree can be dropped in default (maybe a little button to show and give the opportunity to go back some steps to change a setting). When SL is installing you see stats about each disk, packages, size and so on.
that nice to see suse linux don't display a lot information if you don't go in detailed mode http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/637/11.gif you know every installation step and you can know when that will finish you know that you will need to insert another cd
The only thing the customer wants to now is : - how far are we in total? - how long will it take from now on? - when do I need to insert another cd?
you know all taste customer?
[======== ] < no numbers! Estimated: 12 minutes Next CD: 2 minutes
Under that there is a lot of space for a slideshow I guess.
Idea 5: Take care of that you show a lot of nice things in the slideshow. 3 buttons: prev, next, diashow. It uses some space on the disk but new users will welcome it....
Do you have some comments on it. Some point have reached the ML and bugzilla before but I guess this time I want to make a mockup if there is a chance that it will be redesigned.
i think the must used yast module is install and remove software this module is very slow yast need to be relooked and need some optimization
