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 (language, partitioning, software, bootloader).

YaST2 comes with three frontends: GTK , QT and ncurses. All frontends are functionally equivalent. The correct frontend is selected automatically based on the available components and the current environment (the DISPLAY variable).
