? I think that if SuSE can spend a lot of money in removing it then they can spend a lot of money on putting it back in again.
Sure, if you're going to pay for the developers that maintain YaST1. It just doesn't make sense to maintain two different tools to do the same job. YaST1 *and* YaST2 had and have to be adapted to the distribution because of things like changing package descriptions or the move from /etc/rc.config to /etc/sysconfig. The latter is also the reason why you'll not be able to configure your system with a YaST1 from 7.3. SuSE is a commercial company, aimed at making profit and that's why we can't afford binding valuable resources to tasks of limited value. Now that YaST1 is dead, these developers are able concentrate on improving YaST2, from which far more people will profit. Philipp
