Fábio, I believe if you check, you will find Yast1 on your 7.3 or 7.2 cds, source code and all. Feel free to alter, change or make it useful for your needs, just don't resale it. I believe that is the only restriction on it? Yast2 is actually very useful, but it is different from one, but you have the option to use it either in GUI or console mode, if the GUI mode proves unnatural to you.

I'm Suse user since version 6.1, then migrating from "redhat" like .. After dedicating this weekend to instal at first time Suse 8.0 .. and REALY hate them !!! First of all : instalation ! My test bed is a Pentium 150, motherboard VIA MVP3, 64 RAM . more then enough to run a gateway/firewall to 30 or 40 machines . Suse 7.2 ou 7.3 installs on them smoothly, in 1/2 hour ou less... more 1/2 hour to setup deamons and firewall ... well ... to install suse 8.0 I MUST setup a swap of 40 MB BEFORE anything else ... AND, to select correct set of packages, I spend 3 hours !!! my "DMZ" selection ( from suse7.2/7.3 Yast1 ) are missing, I MUST make a selection by hand and at EACH package that I cut/select this machine "things" for about 1 minute before I can go to the next !! What a hell are Suse developers thinking ?!?!? I dont have time to waste !!! if they have, make Yast 2 USABLE or get back Yast 1 ... or free Yast 1 to comunity proceed with development ! But this is unaceptable !!! And then ...when I will set up the deamons, the rc.config is put away WITHOUT a equivalent replacement !!! If I want to make this setup without tweeking ( the MAJOR reason that I migrate from "red hat" like to Suse ) I MUST use AGAIN this great peace of sheet called Yast2, and, I must remember run levels and other things that I running awy from when migrate to Suse !!! What a hell is this ?!?!? involution ??? steps back ??? If Suse don't release a "Suse 7.4" with kernel 2.4.18 or 2.4.19 or a Suse 8.1 WITH Yast1 or MUCH MUCH more fast and friendly Yast 2 I will stay away from Suse until now !! ( and my clients too !! )
Now I can undestand all msg from this list soon after 8.1 release ! This peaple are right !!! Ssue * and Yast 2 sucks !!!
