Hello, In our Eng. Dept. we strongly need these YAST1 features mentioned below. With SuSE 8.0 we don't have the same level of control over the system as we had in its earlier versions 7.3/7.2 and so on. That is why we suspended upgrades from SuSE 7.2/7.3 to 8.0 utill this issue is resolved or we find another way around. If not, we'll be forced to find another distro, may be less flashy than SuSE but with more control over the system. SuSE folkz, when you create your new releases, please bear in mind that there are not only corporate dorks, sales-drones and M$ infected home users using your distro, but also engineers and programmers. If you tilt your software development only towards to graphical interfaces with mere functionality you'll loose significant portion of your supporters and admirers. Alex. -------------------

I strongly second that.
I have never been more dissapointed with a release. As soon as I have time I'm writting a flood of letters to SuSE.
Eveyone in my company is upset with some of the very stupid changes. There's even been talk of switching distros, though I'm trying to avert that.
There are at least a few VERY helpful features in yast that are not in YaST2. Thowing out those features was a very, very, very large mistake.
This is one of them. I'll write a full list later, don't have time now.
