NAME
YaST2 - universal configuration utility
SYNOPSIS
yast2 [ options ] [ module ] [ module specific options ]
yast2 --install <package> [ <package> [ ... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
YaST2 is used to configure the system. It can configure a common hard-
ware (sound cards, printers, keyboards, mice), network connections
(network cards, ISDN cards, modems, DSL connections), network clients
and services (NFS, NIS), as well as a general system options (language,
partitioning, software, bootloader).
YaST2 comes with three frontends: GTK , QT and ncurses. All frontends
are functionally equivalent. The correct frontend is selected automat-
ically 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 <module> to
launch the module directly.
