Yast1 Vs Yast2 Resize xterm in window without screen corruption: (ie. Running yast2 in gnome-terminal, if terminal is resized yast2 becomes unuseable due to poor curser implemetation and at times segfaults) yast1 = yes yast2 = no Change actual device node install CD is on: (ie. install was done from /dev/hdc, that CD drive removed, new SCSI CD drive installed, /dev/sr0, and linked to /dev/cdrom. Now yast2 will not see the CD drive and there is no way ive found to fix it) yast1 = yes yast2 = no Save Custom installation set for machine rollout: (ie. create a custom install set of only packages you wish to install and save it to a file, on re-importing into yast2, selected pakages are selected but unselected packages are not unselectedand need to be done manually) yast1 = yes yast2 = no Simple Navagation: (ie. being able to visually navigate menus via arrow keys, tabs) yast1 = yes yast2 = no Full discriptions of Pakages, including file list: (ie. alt-d in yast2 only gives you a 1 to 2 lines, where as yast1 gave you the FULL package description) yast1 = yes yast2 = no I could keep going im sure, but the bottom line here is that yast2 still seems to be in a beta/testing stage of development (surely these features havent been left out on purpose). Yast2 does have several good points, but without having a full working feature set equivalent to Yast1, Yast1 should not have been removed until yast2 leaves the development stage it still seems to be in. Ive been paying for FULL versions of SuSE since v6.2 due to SuSE's poor upgrade options for international users and I am bit dissapointed they they would make an M$ style move in forcing an unstable product onto its users without another option. Im hoping alot of this will be fixed with the new release. I agree that yast must move on and develop with linux and i feel that apart from the problems with yast2, SuSE 8.0 is the very best linux distro ive installed. But at this point i am unable to implement it on my servers until i have a stable and useable remote configuration tool. For a powerful workstation SuSE 8.0 pro is the best linux money can buy, for a server i would stick to 7.* Adam Daniel Technical Consultant ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FORENSIC DATA SERVICES PTY LIMITED http://www.forensicdata.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
