RE: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 the future of Yast2?
Hi, Some official Yast info here: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/yast2_ncurses.html and you can install Yast1 in 8.0 from the 7.3 DVD: http://www.netsys.com/suse-linux-e/2002/05/msg00616.html KDE 3.0.2 will you get from the Online Update. 8.0 is a very fine distribution, and of course 8.1 will be even better. :) Regards, Jostein
===== Original Message From "Jeric" <jeric@sbcglobal.net> ===== There has been much debate as to whether Yast2 is good/bad, etc. and I think both sides have valid arguments. So, I would like to not go there, if possible.
However, what I was wondering is what changes, updates, etc. of Yast2(3?) are in store for future releases of SuSE, especially SuSE 8.1? One reason that I did not upgrade to 8.0 is the negative feedback of yast2 (to me Yast1/2 and Sax1/2 is what makes SuSE, SuSE). The other reason was too many .0's (SuSE 8.0, kde 3.0, and gnome was just around the corner with 2.0). But, I would have overlooked the .0's if it wasn't for the constant complaints of Yast2 and/or lack of Yast1.
SuSE...please give me a reason to upgrade to 8.1 when it comes out, please :)
Thanks, Jeric

Not sure it will always be case that 7.3 rpms will work with newer updates that will be included in 8.1 and beyond. Yet, apt-get in the 8.0 and beyond is promising is you like the ftp service in YaST1. See http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/ I like this very much. /Dee On (02/08/02 13:43), Jostein Berntsen wrote:
