I'm really glad that IBM has decided to use YAST with DB2 on Linux.
I've been trying to get just DB2/Connect to load on SLES7 and SLES8 for
a year with no success whatsoever.  The latest one wants some kind of
graphics interface to do the loading and the instructions(?) included
with it give no information on how to set up the graphics interface on
both Linux and the workstation.  I can load it using line-mode commands,
but only if I want to load ALL of DB2.

Maybe yast will solve this problem.  Where can I get the yast-enabled
version of DB2 for Linux?

"...He claimed the newly-GPL'd toolset has had an immediate impact with
SUSE partners, including IBM. Geck described how Big Blue has embraced
YaST and integrated support for DB2 setup with it. "IBM did it on their
own," Geck said. "It wasn't SUSE/Novell trying to play catchup with IBM
software. It was the release of YaST under the GPL so there was no
control point from us. We detached ourselves from our own baby so to
say."
