Please do not change the ability to access YaST from a terminal.  When I
installed 10.3 on a Intel quad system, the installation locked up at the
very end and rebooting didn't help.  I had to boot into level 3 and run
all the updates from the terminal.  Now this system is running fine.
Maybe it's time for a 10.3.1 release.

There are a number of places in the KDE control center which require
administrator access.  It would be nice if those things could be
accessed from YaST.  One place to do all the administrator tasks.

I agree with all the comments on fixing the software updater.  That
really needs work.  The other day, download.opensuse.org was timing out
for most of the morning(EST).  According to a comment on the
repositories page, this is supposed to be a re-director to a local
repository.  It should never be down.  Maybe the initial interchange
with a repository should be a simple date stamp of the latest change.
That way downloading large lists could be avoided.  I got a kick out of
the installation script for the MS fonts.  It checks a number of sites
and picks the fastest one to respond.

I've been on SuSE since Caldera went down.  I've tried many other
distributions over the years.  YaST is the main reason that I keep
coming back.
