The following words are to SuSE but basically any distro creators. I have used YaST in the past and do so as of today. I only used it for some of the tasks it is meant for. Mainly installing and removing packages and setting up network devices. YaST is not great for everything. The other day I assisted a friend of mine to do a NFS install over the LAN. I was not present at the location but online. My friend installed SuSE 6.4 The machine she installed SuSE on was a 125MHz with 40 Meg of Ram, no CD Rom. From what I could conclude from far away YaST2 got invoked automatically. After a while the installation broke off because YaST2 demanded 48 Meg of Ram. There was a choice to choose YaST as installer and my friend got eventually SuSE installed. This seems to be a minor problem. I just like to stress to the SuSE people that even though we are in the ages of 1 GHz+ processors and workstations of 256+ Meg of Ram I personally prefer tools which run on most hardware. I like to plead for SuSE to continue the development of YaST in the future and not abandon it, if they intend to do so. It is needed, even if only 10% of all users use it, it makes their life a lot easier. mk ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- 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/
