I can't tell how the YaST source looks like, didn't yet look really. But YaST isn't i386-only. SLES[1] is available for i386,x864_64,ppc64, s390, s390x too and SL for x86_64, too And they also use YaST (looking on where which yast2 source version is used confirms this..) That SL[2] isn't available for !i386/!x86_64 is an other story... Regards, Rene [1] SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server [2] SUSE LINUX -- .''`.
