> Did YAST *force* you to use it, Gabriel? ;-) If I may jump in here, I may have something useful to add. While I'm no = SuSE expert, I did use that distribution for quite a while. It was my = experience that YAST could be avoided for day-to-day management, but if = you wanted to do an upgrade via their regular CD releases, you'd end up = with YAST. What that means is that all the settings YAST keeps in its own = setup files would end up in your text config files around the disk, = overwriting your own carefully-designed config files. =20 So, no, you're not forced to use YAST, but you're better off using it for = all the services it offers if you have SuSE installed and want to take = advantage of the convenience of updating via their 6-CD distribution sets = as I did.
