0. Introduction =============== WebYaST is a web-based remote console plugging into a stateless interface exposed by an SLE-based appliance and providing a set of configuration modules appropriate to enable minimal user control of the appliance "black box" environment. 1. Installation =============== WebYaST is not "installable" per se. It is a component available for building of appliances. To build appliances using webYaST, set up the repository in your SUSE Studio instance.
