My 8.0 Question

Hello all! If this is stupid, please forgive my ignorance. I have been using SuSE since 6.3 and *love* it! It has been noted that Yast will not be in this release, but Yast2 is taking its place entirely. My only concern is to the ability to use the ftp site as a valid update/installation source. Yast did this exceptionally well, however I have not yet figured out: 1.) If Yast2 can do it!? 2.) If #1 == TRUE then HOW??!! :) This is pretty much my only concern for 8.0! (not that it would stop me from getting it... ;) ~T. I'm out of my mind right now, but please feel free to leave a message.
