I again installed openSUSE 13.2 and would like to configure network in the traditional way (ie not network manager). I am puzzled by the above statements like "Despite that, it still works quite well. " and "YaST / ifup. Works perfectly fine."
That was sarcasm - it continues to work very well because it was never removed. I installed a new 13.2 test system only last week I think, works quite well. Still don't understand. I can't find ifup method in yast, I see wicked method instead. Why do you say it wasn't removed?
I think you misinterpreted the "/" in "YaST / ifup. Works perfectly fine". It does NOT mean ... invoke Yast, use the menu item 'ifup under the networking tab' it means that there is capability for this in yast, or, alternatively, you can use the shell command 'ifup', as root, which, of course, has been around for about as long as Linux has had networking" Sometimes people complain about my verbosity, all those clauses in commas (or even my use of parenthetical subclauses), but I think this example shows how brevity can be misinterpreted. Some people seem obsessed with minimizing keystrokes (or mouse clicks); that has never made any sense to me. OK, I'm a dinosaur; I think in terms of ifconfig and ifup and would have to, slowly and ponderously, step though it myself to answer a yast question. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
