Could you or anybody else PLEASE tell me one thing that Yast does that you can't do by hand?? Anything? I've used various version of SuSE over the years. Yes Yast may do more then it did but it also plays nicer then it used. It will actually leave config files you manually edit alone. To be honest I used SuSE for months before even knowing Yast did anything but handle the install. If it wasn't for this list I would never have know that Yast did more then handle the intial install. No I don't read docs-)
It's the other way round Nick. ;-( If you do things by hand, next time SuSEconfig runs your neatly done changes are overwritten. On the other hand, I appreciate SuSEconfig to configure my sendmail (i.e.) and I do not want to do that on my own. I dislike the rc.config file been sourced everywhere for everything, rather like the other appeoach (like HPUX) the "network" boot script accessing a file called network and so on. With that, you have a hell of single files to maintain but it's much clearer. I hope for a general solution to this and am prepared to stick for the status quo for a while, but I am not realy happy.
