Yast2 written in something other than Java. I've written graphical programs in Java, and I know it's easier, but I never tried to sell them. It's pretty sad when yast2 runs slow on my PIII-850MHz machine with 1GB of ram . . .

AFAICS Yast2 is written in C++

You know, I was gonna tell you all the reasons why I think it is, but I just launched it and it seem to be quite fast and responsive, perhaps something was wrong on my system before, but it HAS always been slow until today . . . or at least I think it was. I was always running it under Window Maker, and now under Enlightenment, but I don't think that should have any effect on it . . . weird. I looked at /sbin/yast2 and it's a shell script that runs /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2bignfat, see the below output of 'file' on that. . . . nickw@gizmo:~ > file /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2bignfat /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/y2bignfat: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped . . . Also looking at /sbin/yast2 it says "It starts the qt user interface", so that seems like a C/C++ program to me, using the qt toolkit. After that, me thinks your be right ;) Perhaps my last YOU update contained some performance improvements? -- Nick Webb http://www.uidaho.edu/~nickw/ =================================================================== "Thirty days hath Septober, April, June, and no wonder. all the rest have peanut butter except my father who wears red suspenders." ===================================================================
