Okay... so, as an example, in Yast > Network Services > NIS Server. How does that become self-explanatory to someone who has never heard of NIS before?
Even further... Click on Help in the NIS Server module and the following message comes up:
"Select whether to configure the NIS server as a master or a slave or not to configure a NIS server."
Again, how is this self-explanatory? That's the point some of us are trying to make. There should be at least a brief explanation to the purpose of a module's services.
When you open a module in YaST you get hints in the left panel to what needs to be put in the right panel. IMHO, these could use a little touching up but they are there. The "help" stuff does need a little work. Never said it didn't. But
As has been pointed out by some people the thread was about YaST, the container, NOT the modules within. YaST>Network Services IS self explanatory. If you add in the ">NIS Server" it is still self explanatory. It deals with the NIS Server settings, NOT your video settings. As I said in my post: that's a module issue and not a container issue. Somehow, I have wonder why someone that didn't know what an "NIS Server" is would be trying to change settings. FYI: I have no earthly idea what an "NIS Server" is. I don't need it and don't use it. If I needed to know what was needed I would start with Google and the SuSE pages, OR I would know what was needed because it was something I needed to use. In the three, or so, years I've been using Linux full time I haven't needed to make any changes in that particular module. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
