Title: [Feature-request] Yast as a Linux learning tool
openSUSE-11.1: New
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Alexey Eremenko
Partner organization: openSUSE.org
Description:
Hi All !
I Have very good new idea: converting Yast into a Linux learning tool.
This is very simple to achieve: Yast must show the commands it executes and files it modifies, in a nice GUI dialog.
It will allow all kinds of Linux users understand how things really work. Enable learn new things or remind how old-but-forgotten things work for seasoned people.
Great, isn't it ?
P.S. Jay Vollmer recommends, that among the commands that Yast shows as it executing, it should also recommend "man pages" for the relevant underlying commands.

If one wants to see what is gong on in background, than look at logs in realtime. There is console (Konsole) and command tail. Run as root:
tail -f /var/log/YaST2/y2log
and then start YaST and play with.

Sounds like a great way for new users to learn more about what's under the hood. Or, what's under the bonnet, for the Brits.

Moving to maintainers to decide.
