NAME

YaST2 - universal configuration utility

SYNOPSIS

yast2 [ options ] [ module ] [ module specific options ]
yast2 --install <package>

DESCRIPTION

YaST2 is used to configure the system. It can configure a
common hardware (sound cards, printers, keyboards, mice),
network connections (network cards, ISDN cards, modems,
DSL connections), network clients and services (NFS, NIS),
as well as a general system options (language, partition
ing, software, bootloader).

YaST2 comes with two frontends: QT and ncurses. Both frontends are functionally equivalent. The correct fron
tend is selected automatically based on the available com
ponents and the current environment (the DISPLAY vari
able).

Use yast2 alone to launch the YaST2 Control Center from which you can select a particular configuration module or
use yast2 <module> to launch the module directly.
