	Yet Another Setup Tool - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		YaST is free software since Novell has made YaST available under the GPL.
		YaST2 is a fairly complete and competent tool for administering a SUSE Linux installation.
		It allows administrators to install software, configure hardware, setup networks and servers and more.

	yast4debian
		YaST2 from SuSE/Novell is released under the GNU GPL and consists of different modules for different administration tasks.
		YaST2 is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL - General Public License.
		Because we think that YaST2 is a good piece of software and may help new user to use and administrate a Debian system.

	SDB:Using YaST2 in Text Mode - openSUSE
		YaST2 had to be usable in both graphical and text mode, and also be scalable on other interfaces.
		If an X server is running on your system and YaST2 is started in the text mode under an X window manager, it is likely that the ALT shortcuts have already been assigned in the window manager configuration.
		The use of YaST2 in text mode may seem unusual, but is in fact very easy.

	The YaST2 Screen Shot HowTo
		If you make screen shots during the first stage of a YaST2 installation, make sure to copy the files from the RAM disk (/tmp) to a somewhat less volatile medium, such as a floppy, before the reboot.
		During the first part of a YaST2 installation, the /tmp directory resides on the RAM disk, so its contents are gone when the system is initialized.
		Thus, for screen shots of YaST2 in text mode during installation, you have to use an emulator like VM-Ware and a conventional screen shot utility (ksnapshot, xv, xgrabsc, xwd, etc.).

	LWN: The YaST2 Package Manager
		YaST2 is a completely rewritten interface to the (as always, RPM-based) package management system with a number of new features.
		YaST2 appears to have the ability to display conflict problems and to allow users to resolve them as they best see fit - including that all important "I know what I'm doing, just do it" option.
		YaST2 has not been made available separately, so it will be necessary to wait for the 8.1 distribution to try it out.

	man yast2 (1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		YaST2 comes with two frontends: QT and ncurses.
		The correct frontend is selected automatically based on the available components and the current environment (the DISPLAY variable).
		Use yast2 alone to launch the YaST2 Control Center from which you can select a particular configuration module or use yast2 to launch the module directly.

	Orb Designs Test Labs - SuSE's YaST2, Introduction
		Yast2 is fairly well documented in the Configuration paper-bound book that accompanies the retail distribution, but the tool is straight forward and easy to use, with decent contextual help.
		Yast2 is a fairly complete and competent tool for administering a SuSE installation.
		When starting YaST2, you're prompted first for the root user's password, for the level of permission necessary for the operations that are run.

	SUSE Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At this gathering it was also announced that the proprietary SUSE administration program YaST2 would be released into the public under the GPL license.
		SUSE has the ability to detect and install drivers for many common winmodems shipped with OEM desktop and laptop systems (such modems are designed to use Windows-specific software to operate).
		Several desktop environments such as KDE and GNOME and window managers like Window Maker and Blackbox are included, with the YaST2 installer allowing the user to choose a preselection of GNOME, KDE, or no desktop at all.

	Linux on Diane's Notebook
		Finally, yast2 started the sound configuration, but this failed due to other reasons (see the paragraph about sound configuration), and after this there appeared the KDE login screen.
		During installation, yast2 tried to configure the soundchip, but this failed, showing an error message for fractions of a second only.
		So I guess the problems I had with 6.4 were not caused by Yast2, it detected an "Ensoniq 1371"-Type of chip correctly, but the mixer driver still is buggy.

	YaST2 wird GPL - Mathias Kettner
		Das bedeutet, dass YaST2 ebenso wie Linux nun von jedem beliebig eingesetzt, verändert und verbreitet werden kann.
		YaST2 ist eine universelle Plattform, mit der das effiziente Entwickeln von Administration- und Konfigurationsmodulen möglich ist.
		So gestaltet sich YaST2 in seiner gewohnter Form auf SuSE LINUX 9.1.

	SuSE's YaST2 configuration tool is a step (or two) above the rest
		YaST2, which can also be run in text mode, might just be the most impressive part of the entire distribution.
		If you’re not already on the YaST2 bandwagon, it’s high time you take a close look at the benefits of using YaST2, as well as its myriad of configuration options.
		When YaST2 starts up, the Hardware menu will be active, and in the larger right-hand panel you'll see three more icons that represent the submenus Sound, Printer, and System Tuning (see Figure A).

	LWN: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9
		YaST2 did just fine at detecting and configuring all system hardware.
		YaST2 has really matured into a nice system administration tool over the years.
		The end-user experience for SLES 9 and SUSE 9.1 is pretty much the same, though and there's no steep learning curve or anything for users migrating to SLES 9 from SUSE 9.1 or older versions.

	Survey of YaST2 Configurator on SuSE 9.0 - OSNews.com
		With its neat and colorful interface and ease of application deployment even the most diehard users of Windows XP are tempted to install it on their box.
		Now even for an experienced user with multiple OS on the disk partitions YaST2 selects the most appropriate empty space and configures the default reiserfes file format.
		When YaST2 is launched its so easy that there is no need for me to explain, fiddle around with it for a while and you will know it for yourself.

	The YaST2 Package Manager
		Specially optimized versions were implemented for both graphical user interface (the YaST2 Qt UI) or text interface (the YaST2 NCurses UI), providing each type of user with the tool that best fits his needs.
		It is intended for advanced users and experts, but experience so far has shown that average users get their tasks done with it.
		Since this part of YaST2 is now split up into two independent binary versions, we were able to optimize both versions for their respective environments: The Qt version for the graphical environment and the NCurses version for pure text environment.

	Installing SuSE Linux 7.1 on a Pentium 4 Computer
		SuSE's installation program now automatically goes into Yast2, which is the graphical version, instead of offering a choice between Yast1 (the text version) and Yast2 as before.
		Unfortunately, Yast2 had some weird incompatibility with my Matrox G450 video card, and sent it into some bizarre video mode that was outside the sync range of my monitor.
		Yast2 was perfectly happy to install components that were incompatible with each other or with the hardware, rendering the system unbootable, while giving no warning messages.

	NVIDIA Installer and SuSE 8.2 YaST2 Kernel Update Problem - nV News Forums
		I started YaST2 a while back and believed I only selected one update to one small package.
		The odd thing about YaST2 installing a new kernel is that a new kernel does not appear to be one of the choices.
		In yast2 online-update, check the box that says: "Include installed patches" and you should be able to see them.

		The first thing I had to do though was add the users and groups that would be accessing the system from remote workstations.
		This was done using the NFS Client module and the NIS Client module within the YaST2 control center which will take care of modifying the fstab and yp.conf files.
		To allow the automatic mounting and unmounting of shares or filesystems, I turned on the automounter which takes care of mofidying the autofs file.

		If you invoke the command yast2 manually from an xterm or a ``Run command'' dialog and your X session isn't being run as root, the on-line update will fail, returning a misleading error about being unable to locate the update list on the specified FTP server.
		That doesn't mean you must run YaST2 only from a root X session; it means that if you don't, you should use the menu item automatically created by SuSE for YaST2, in which case you'll be prompted for the root password and the on-line update will work properly.
		In my enthusiasm for up2date and YaST2, I haven't yet mentioned one other simple method for updating RPM files: the rpm command itself, which works equally well on Red Hat (and its derivatives) and SuSE.

	/dev/loki: How to use smart with SUSE Linux Factory
		As probably everyone knows, it still has a few major issues with the new package management backend in YaST2, which is quite unfortunate because apart from that, 10.1 is awesome.
		For the 10.1RC1 RPMs of smart, the preconfigured repositories are wrong, as they point to the locations where the repositories of 10.1 final will be available.
		Here is how to change the channel (in smart speak) / installation source (in YaST2 speak) configuration to use the SUSE Linux Factory repository instead.
