We simply took the hard work done by Ricardo and Michael to create the community-developed Gtk frontend. I see your point of support and also documentaiton is very similar issue. However, the value of difference, trying out a different approaches is very valuable. For your particular case of support problems, I suggest to adapt /etc/sysconfig/yast2, set WANTED_GUI="qt" Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
