Hi,

Makre sure to have yast2-alternatives installed, if you don't have it already, then you can find it in YaST under Misc/Alternatives
I'd like to raise two topics as a followup to this statement:
Is there any information source, where one can find things like that? If new features, packages or whatever get introduced or are removed, how can we know that? Perhaps I missed that somehow, but then I'm not the only one, as it seems.
Things tend to be announced on this very list, if I catch stuff I'll try to mention it in the weekly news (sometimes bi-weekly), the YaST team themselves have a great blog where they announce even more details on changes planned/done (yast2-alternatives is not exactly new anymore, we had it for > 1 year now)
And:
Is there any process implemented to clean up /etc/sysconfig, i.e. does anything delete unused entries and files and/or unused files in a whole?
Template files are shipped as part of packages in /var/adm/fillup- templates and packages responsible for them use the respective macros to migrate fillup info into the real /etc/sysconfig/* files (so at least the theory) Cheers Dominique
