In this case the upgrade process script is calling YaST2 Perhaps because we chose the ssh method rather than vnc in original parm file
I have used YaST2 for a few years and do like it It was nice and easy for doing hipersockets though yast maybe is as well vnc method may have required installing a product in my vmware Open source not allowed and only certain approved products allowed PuTTY is allowed so opted to try ssh method (silly us) Don't know why the install process is invoking YaST2 rather than yast Annie Smith -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Post Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2013 5:52 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SLES10 SP4 to SLES11 SP2 upgrade issue >>> On 3/7/2013 at 04:29 PM, "Veencamp, Jonathon D." <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm curious, why do you NEED X to do maint?

As you yourself noted, it's not necessary. But, some people like the GUI versus the ncurses interface. Since my network connections to our mainframe are transatlantic, I prefer ncurses, simply because trying to use X (or even VNC at times) is excruciating.
