Better get used to ssh and a shell if you want to admin a Linux box remotely or local.
That's what i do today, but thats not exactly what i want. :( That needs yast to be installed on the remote computer. I sort of want yast to be installed only on the administrative box, and just change the coresponding files on the remote. That way i can have a very minimal install on the remote, and full X with all the bells and whistles for running yast on my workstation/administrative box.
FWIW: I like the idea, but I don't think it's an option at this point in history. I googled a bit on the subject, and nothing came up that pertains to that particular scenario. Also I don't see any YaST modules that look like they do that sort of thing. I think you're stuck with ssh/local yast for the time being. You should write feedback@suse.com and suggest it, though. Now, as an alternative I guess you *could* see if webmin would work for you. Of course that means apache and perl and whatever else, has to be available on each machine. Also, I'm not sure about the feasibility of having SuSE *without* YaST. Cheers, Jon Clausen -- If we can't be free, at least we can be cheap!
