"Keith Pettit"
The one thing I really really hate about SuSE 6.3 is there GUI installer. I made the mistake of using it and I have no idea what it installed.
Hello, Keith. I used to hate GUI installers myself (on the Microsoft side), because of the feeling of being in a prison, where there is little understanding about what is really going on, and the feeling of having absolutely no control when things go wrong -- as they sometimes do. YaST tamed me, and I learned to love it. (But I did not try YaST2 yet.) You can always Alt-F2 while YaSt is running to check how things evolve, and have more fine-tuned interactions when unusual problems pop up. Yet, with time, I found that YaST is often able to repair most of such unusual problems, to the point I became lazy, and now try to do things within YaST whenever it can... It is very easy to know what is currently installed. Just type `rpm -qa'. If you want to full details, you'll find them all into `/var/adm/inst-log', all sorted by date. So you see, you might be hating the installer for wrong reasons. It is far from being so bad, after all! :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
