i do have a question: what if i decided to abandon YaST, to uninstall it (YaST2 is already gone anyway), to move all YaST config stuff to something like /var/adm/backup or ~root/backup, to create my own scripts, and to use suse as a linux system and not as a suse system with YaST? sure, i'd loose installation support, but i don't really want that anyway. are there other consequences?

I haven't tried this, but I think you just have to set ENABLE_SUSECONFIG="no" in /etc/rc.config. Then you should be in complete control. However I would not recommend it, since YaST/SuSEconfig is quite smart. It has a couple of bugs, one related to yp.conf, but overall it's quite good. ---J.T.U.
