I occasionally log into my home system from work (through Putty a Windows SSH clone). I sometimes find it useful to run YaST1. Since YaST1 is going away in 8.0, can YaST2 be run in text mode from an xterm without X support: 1. in 7.3

Yes.

...

2. in 8.0

Yes.

That works, thanks: # unset DISPLAY # yast2 Setting display to yast2 does not work, but unsetting it works like a charm. On 8 Apr 2002 at 16:07, Thorsten Kukuk wrote:

# DISPLAY= yast2

Don't tell YaST2 that there is a X11 Display and will use ncurses as frontend.

He is not setting the display to yast2. He is setting it to empty on the same line as he's calling yast2. Try the line exactly like he wrote it.
