I agree that YaST2 has problems....but the very stable YaST1 is on the 2nd
CD.  YaST2 was designed as a feature-compete with Caldera....therefore,
it makes too many assumptions, but makes the install process "simpler" (e.g.
like Windows).

The problem with that logic is that Windows really only contains 1 app,
Solataire, and thus the install process should be easier with Windows :-)

Yes...it's time for the majors to do some serious debugging, testing prior
to rollout.  Even if it's fixing YaST2....personally, I would have been
satisified with a graphical YaST1...if the install just HAS to be
graphical.
