NAME
YaST - "Yet another Setup Tool", the installation and configuration
tool
SYNOPSIS
yast2 [ options ] [ module ] [ module specific options ]
DESCRIPTION
YaST can be used to configure the system. It can configure common hard-
ware (sound cards, printers), network connections (network cards), net-
work clients and services (like NFS, FTP), as well as general system
options (language, partitioning, software, bootloader).
YaST comes with Qt (graphical) and ncurses (text mode) frontends lo-
cated in libyui-qt and libyui-ncurses packages. Both frontends are
functionally equivalent. The correct frontend is selected automatically
based on the available components and the current environment (the DIS-
PLAY variable).
Use yast2 alone to launch the YaST Control Center from which you can
select a particular configuration module or use yast2 module to launch
the module directly.
