You mean, you use the system in some non-standard way?
So, your deviant choices are ok, but hers are not?
You can have a standard suse style system without using yast :-)
I never said that I absolutely NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES use YaST. let me repeat what I did say: ---------------- Dunno.I don't use Yast much, just for doing things that I want a bit more comparative visibility than I get using zypper. Or maybe for advice about adding optional repository. -------------------- I also mentioned that I set up my disk BEFORE installation to be the way I want it using tools dedicated to disk setup, rather than using the YaST partitioner. The example I keep quoting is that the YaST partitioner makes use of libstorage6.so whereas the CLI creation of thin pools (as described by a number of HOW-To pages) just uses the LVM commands directly. Using the CLI I can see what is going on. In my DatabaseOfDotSigQuotes this is this: That's what I love about GUIs: They make simple tasks easier, and complex tasks impossible. -- John William Chambless What it boils down to is that if you use a GUI you are surrendering control to what the GUI designer thought you should be doing and how you should do it. Yes, you do that to some degree using any program, but GUI and GUI designers add another layer to this. In this case, Linda trying to use YaST to set up thin pools, it was an error on the part of the GUI designer to use libstoage6.so rather than directly control the commands. Boo-Hoo! This error had existed a long time, way back to 10.something. But it had been reported and it had been fixed. I've reported that too. Of course, since I'd *always* done LVM things from the CLI, it being one of the cases where I'd not bothered with YaST since I wanted to learn how this worked, and once done it with the CLI, kept doing it that way, I never met Linda's problem until I specifically had to drill down and trace the bug. Which I reported in detail elsewhere in this thread. -- 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
