And that is my largest gripe with YaST. YaST won't tell you what it does ... so there is less chance you'll ever learn to do it manually (or tune stuff). It's all dandy if you don't want to learn (or doing it the first time), but sometimes I want to know how YaST sets the time zone[2] ... or whatever. I wish there was at least a --noisy switch that would write all the stuff to STDOUT or a file ...
That's it _exactly_. As a gross newbie I welcomed YaST's handholding nanny approach. Now that I know just enough to be a danger to myself <g>, I want to know what's going on so I can do it myself (if/when necessary). I've been through that process now with pppd and printing. I strongly second the suggestion for a "verbose" option for YaST.
