IMO YaST tools has been the sole of SUSE, and YaST is what makes SUSE better and easier to configure than some other popular distributions
I would like to ask you a question: What - from a YaST end-user point of view - makes whatever piece of software which runs on your machine "the SUSE YaST"? I assume it is nothing else than the look and feel of its user interface. In other words, if we replaced the current YaST software with a totally new software which does not change the look and feel too much, you would not notice a real difference and you would call the new software also "YaST". I.e. I assume you do "Duck typing", see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing When it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. If my assumtion is right, there could be a totally new YaST3 provided the look and feel of its user interface does not change too much. This new YaST3 would have to be installed and run together with the traditional YaST2. In particular the YaST control center whould have to show both YaST2 modules plus YaST3 modules. Then a move from YaST2 to YaST3 could happen step by step module by module. But I fear at least for now there is not at all sufficient manpower to make a totally new YaST3 :-( Kind Regards Johannes Meixner -- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany AG Nuernberg, HRB 16746, GF: Markus Rex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
