The SuSE website says they moved everything from YAST1 to YAST2. YAST1 is
no longer included. I sure hope they leave sax1 there. I could NOT get X
working on my Toshiba notebook with sax2, but sax did.
Maybe I just need to get the new sax2, which I discovered does not download
using YOU.

Fou4s is a great tool, nice job. Though I am looking for something to replace YAST and do the same stuff as apt-get does in debian. Yast is a setup and configuration tool and apt-get is an installation/update tool only. So you can't really replace yast with apt-get. There is apt4rpm, but I haven't tested. I'm going to do something called suse-get, which gets SuSE packages from an FTP server, if you don't have the CD's around. This is far not apt-get, but makes life easier. Dependency checking is horror, and makes everything slow, and therefore I try to avoid it wherever possible and leave it to RPM (and the errors to the user). Apt has to care for dependencies, and this is why fou4s is not like apt. As a configuration tool, YaST is still good (I only use YaST1), and you can use /etc/rc.config as well. I'll get SuSE8 today, and I heard that they moved lots of stuff to /etc/sysconfig, which is more standards compliant.
