I agree. While YaST2 is prettier, and there are some newer tasks that only YaST2 can do, like ALSA sound setup, YaST1 is still more flexable and powerful, along with being easier to use, believe it or not. It's also faster. SuSE, KEEP IT! JLK <snip>
Please oh please SuSE don't get rid of yast1. Please update it so you can still install the system with it. Based on 7.1's attitude toward yast1 it seems like yast1's days may be numbered. Those of us that aren't idiots but still do a lot of idiotic things (like I did) need yast1 in order to fix what we screwed up :) I guess it is ok to make the install idiot proof -- but please don't do it by pissing off your long time users.
Thanks for taking the time to read my rant! I feel better now :)
It's still there!! Believe me. It is still there. At the first boot prompt type manual, and it will start linuxrc just like the old versions did. Then it gives you the option of selecting either yast1 or yast2. Choose yast1 and you are off an running. You will feel right at home. But Yast1 still doesn't have the sound configuration that yast2 does. Oh, and Yast2 can also be a text program to configure your equipment. Worked for me.
Matt.
