It would be nice if there was a mechanism for other configuration systems to at least be started from YaST. Like gnome / kde / compiz configurations. Not to duplicate them.
Such mechanism is already there. For exmaple if you install yast2-vm (Xen configuration/installation) you'll see "Virtual Machine Manager" in section "Virtualization". The icon will start Virt-manager (/usr/bin/virt-manager) which is a non-Yast application.
Not what I mean. This will locate added YaST modules. I am referring to non-YaST modules that are also part of configuring the system. If YaST is to be a central point for system configuration, I think it could at least be able to run, externally, other config tools. It would make YaST a one-stop configuration tool. Even if it only takes you elsewhere to run some config. Like KDE, GNOME, Compiz, nvidia driver settings, and so on and so on. I know that the KDE start menu has a bit of this. But that means some is in YaST, some in a KDE menu. Probably a GNOME menu as well. One needs to look all over the place for where config tools may be registered. If YaST is to be the killer config tool, it needs to expand it's horizons. Even if sometimes as an external program starter. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
