NAME
YaST2 - universal configuration utility
SYNOPSIS

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

frontends are functionally equivalent. The correct fron
tend is selected automatically based on the available com
