There is work in some other variant of yast, I don't remember which because I have not tested it.

I'm concerned that it has a web-based interface. Such things are generally worse than built-in ones, and YaST has a good one now. More important, text mode is needed when the window system is not available.
Did you actually miss this? https://en.opensuse.org/File:D-installer-overview.png
Yes, I actually missed (the thumbnail of) that on the DInstaller page. Thanks. Looking at it now, the thumbnail is too small for me to read, and I was only skimming the page for the major descriptive points about what the successor to YaST was planned to be. The page says: "In a nutshell: D-Installer is an effort to build a web-based installer on top of YaST libraries using Cockpit as a frontend. ..." That says it *is* web-based. Only later does it say a reduced functionality text-based alternative would be "nice to have." So if you pretend that those three interfaces (Web, CLI, and Qt App) shown in D-installer-overview.png are interchangeable, then it looks great. -- Robert Webb
