Yet Another Setup Tool
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yet another Setup Tool (YaST), is an operating system setup and configuration tool that is featured in the SUSE Linux - Linux distribution. It is also part of the defunct United Linux. AutoYaST allows unattended and automated installation and is based on YaST.
YaST is free software since Novell has made YaST available under the GPL.[1]
YaST2 is a fairly complete and competent tool for administering a SUSE Linux installation. It allows administrators to install software, configure hardware, setup networks and servers and more.
A feature of YaST is that it contains both GUI and ncurses frontends. This is especially useful for non-GUI installations and for system administration over slow Internet connections.
YaST's display configuration module is called SaX2 (which stands for SUSE Automated X configuration, version 2).
