I wrote some ideas on the discussion page, is that the expected wayout? copy below jdd Hello, Good idea to open this page. Some essential though, for the beginning: It's essential to keep the ncurse UI with complete functionality. openSUSE is probably the only distribution giving an intelligent complete interface, very pleasant through ssh and low bandwith connection. second, YaST is two parts: first time install and system configuration. help is important at install time, but _on paper_ we _must_ keep YaST small to be able to install on oldfashionned hardware with minimal ram (for example). 10 years old computers are today perfectly usable and used even in our countries by money disabled people, very interested by the freeness of Linux. third, I personnally think the way YaST is showing the config at install time is must better than the way it shows it at system config time. I speak of the summary page with all the components in a window with links (and the "change" box at bottom) fourth, the YaST control center is un-consistent at least for the network devices. Why are them separated from the other hardware? fith, the most ennoying YaST lack is the systematic failing of network detect for the printers. I think I have never seen YaST detect an existing printer on my Linux+Windows net (I have from one to three printers available, depending on the period), and the wording is very difficult to understand (I know of "samba" protocol, not about the others) thanks jdd 05:08, 17 April 2007 (UTC) -- http://www.dodin.net Lucien Dodin, inventeur http://lucien.dodin.net/index.shtml -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
