Spot on. This came up at the 2600 conference Saturday recently:
Stuart: Are you running SuSE on 2.4.11?
Presenter: No this is 2.4.10
Stuart: Don't use 2.4.11; there's a symlink kernel problem
which YaST is exposed to.
Some Hacker: Anyone who uses YaST has problems.
(much laughter all around, especially among the SuSE users).
Stuart.
