YAST2(8) System configuration YAST2(8) 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 hardware (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 (lan- guage, partitioning, software, bootloader). YaST2 comes with three frontends: GTK , QT and ncurses. All frontends are functionally equivalent. The correct frontend is selected auto- matically 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. OPTIONS
