===== Original Message From "Berge, Harry ten" <berge@hitt.nl> ===== This thread is going on and on. SuSE delivers a *GREAT* product. But, as many others, I have some problems with YaST2. But I think the solution to this (and particulary for SuSE) is very simple. Make YaST1 available to the community. All those people complaining can then be productive and create a YaST1 that is compatible with the 'sysconfig' structure which is one of the major changes between 7.3 and 8.0.
SuSE happy (because they don't have to change yast2), and everybody else happy 'cause they can hack away and create a YaST1 XP++++ that will become the best configuration utility ever!!!
the source can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/7.3-i386/SRPMS.update/yast-1.13.3-5. src.rpm Download gives: yast-1.13.3-5.src.rpm mkdir /usr//tmp/yast cd /usr//tmp/yast rpm2cpio yast-1.13.3-5.src.rpm > yast-1.13.3-5.src.cpio cpio -id < yast-1.13.3-5.src.cpio most relevant packages seem to be: yast-1.13.3.tar.gz yast.fdisk.tar.gz yast.misc.tar.gz Now get the *spec file by installing the srpm. Create a project at sourceforge import the the files delivered by the above tar.gz files and your settled :) Happy hacking :) -- Dit bericht is verzonden met Webmail van Freeler.
