Hi Tom, thanks for your great posting! Tom Schaefer wrote:

Perhaps you can streamline and background the whole thing, so that it's more transparent to the user. For example, even if they have rebooted, you guys run that "Probably Yast has to configure some things ..." message. PROBABLY? Aren't you sure? (Again- bad English) :-) I would run it in background - a simple "Yast is finishing the unpacking of man pages" (or what ever it's doing) and then let the system continue to boot up without incindent or need for user intervention. You can do all that shit as a background process with very little fanfare.

Sorry for being a big pain in the ass with all this, but I believe this is better to be specific than just whining! :)

I agree with you in the most of your topics. The only one I can hold against ist the 'kernel selection'. There is a reference page when you press F1. And (I think) at 5.2 we will use the information the user gave to YaST while installing the system to choose a 'default' image. I will forward your mail to our YaST develpment team. And we will see what we can do. A YaST redisign is already on it's way and we hope we can make things more easy in the future...
