I noticed myself whinging in another thread, and I also recalled the recent mention of SuSE 8.0 and other people's whinging about good ole YaST1. So, I was wondering about the new, improved YaST2 in console version. Specifically, how does it address one of the things that's always annoyed me about YaST1: many of YaST1's options are set while you are in the current dialog, so that even if you [ESCAPE] to exit, it is already too late. Some of my most horrifying moments -- well, actually they were MUCH longer than mere moments -- have been spent watching the progress log of config files being written, as I cried and pleaded "NO! NO! Nononononono-o-o-o-o-o! Please, that's not what I wanted! All I did was [ESCAPE] from that dialog box! I just wanted to SEE if this option was what I needed. I didn't want you to wipe all the other config I've tried to perform over the last three hours and also to wipe any possibility of me ever getting back to it again... NO-o-o-o-o!" But always, it was relentless... inexorable... and so very final. I know it's very coddling and Windows-like, but wouldn't it make sense to ALWAYS have a "this is the damage you are about to do; continue, or back out gracefully without committing changes?"?? It could be a "Novice" setting. You gurus could just turn it off, if it seems too much like your mother. Just a thought. -- Kevin McLauchlan Chrysalis-ITS, Inc. "Ultimate Trust(TM)"
