There will be a more flexible partitioning dialogue, which will also allow you to use ReiserFS partitions and multiple disks (no LVM yet, you still need to fall back to YaST1 for Logical Volumes). In addition to that, there is a more flexible package selection and the configuration of Sound cards, printers, Internet connection with Modem/ISDN and Network configuration. -=-=-=-=- I have a SuSE 6.1 and I'm planing to upgrade to 6.4.

Yes, you can also start YaST2 later on to configure your system. Even though there are some areas, where you can use either YaST1 or YaST2, there should not be a conflict.

How do you even get YaST2 to startup? I installed the YaST2 package out of "a", but I'm not getting anywhere with the documentation. "ytgf qt mainmenu" is what I've come across so far, but all I get is Usage: Server Client ClientOptions ServerOptions mainmenu: No such module What are the modules for YaST2?

What are the modules for YaST2?
As I mentioned in a separate mail, YaST2 on SuSE Linux 6.3 does not do anything useful if the system is already installed. A module is a component of YaST2. For example, printer configuration is one module, sound configuration is another one. Here's a description from the YaST2 documentation on SuSE Linux 6.4: <SNIP> Modules Every workflow will be assembled in small steps, implemented by Modules and hold together by a small by comfortable scripting language. Modules have a predefined interface and can be written in any computer language. The YaST2 control language (ycp) can be used to glue modules together or to write a module by itself. This building block approach makes constructing complex workflows easy and maintainable. </SNIP> These modules are written in YCP, YaST's scripting laguage. There is some documentation about YaST2 below /usr/doc/packages/yast2 (Surprise!). YCP is described in /usr/doc/packages/yast2/libycp/autodocs/index.html : <SNIP> libycp Introduction The YCP Datastructures YCP is both a scripting language and a communication protocol. A YCP value is a data structure. It has currently two possible representations. One ist an ASCII representation, the other is a representation a network of C++ objects. The class framework for this object representation is laid in this library. Furthermore It contains the [3]YCPParser that transforms an ASCII representation of YCP values into the object-representation. It also contains a generic embeddable interpreter [4]YCPInterpreter that executes YCP scripts (based on the object representation). An example for use of both the [5]YCPParser and the [6]YCPInterpreter can be found in the source code of y2ycp, the generic YCP interpreter. It is found in the source code in the subdirectory ycp. </SNIP> So, you can actually add modules to YaST2, if you want. Or you can fix bugs in our existing modules and send us the patch :) Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer 90443 Nuernberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
