i guess we have a difference of opinion there.i find yast2 to be cumbersome compared to the sleek simplicity of the redhat way.anyway beyond a certain point all distros are basically indeterminate in their limitations and capabilities. > > > > -there is no man page for chkconfig though the command may exist. > > IIRC, chkconfig is RedHat specific.

You don't know how to select services to run in SuSE. i used to edit rc.config. and files in /etc/rc.config.d.is there a better SuSE specific way that you know but i'm not aware of? > > > > -suse has no manpage for wget though wget is installed.why? > > Did you file a bug with SuSE? no.and i would'nt because i guess they already know and in their wisdom have left it out - like the chkconfig manpage. > > -suse yast only update (YOU) sucks bigtime.whereas redahat up2date is > > extremly reliable and free. > > Please - unsupported statements like these makes me more and more > convinced that you are nothing but a troll.
