I kind of wanted to keep the system as original as possible so as to avoid breaking anything, it has some admirable features... I readjusted the config files to my needs and that went real well, holding tight, a floppy backup of those few files is in order seems the whole system depends heavily on them at bootup... which may actually be a reason to disable suseconfig... don't know, haven't decided...

someone else told me they did this yast deal with 8.0 that it was normal prior to that... is it safe to pull the yast deal off till the machine is configured properly does anyone know, have they tried that? I don't mind yast watching the system after I have it configured for my needs but till then it's been a real monster, absolutely impossible to deal with...

You can disable the system from making the changes automatically by going into the sysconfig editor, selecting Base Administration, SUSEConfig and then the Suseconfig-enable to no.

All the changes have been made to conform with the LSB, so blame the LSB for the "new" locations if you want. At least it should make the transformation from one distro to another easier in the future instead of trying to figure out each idiosyncrasy.
