YAST2(8)                     System configuration                     YAST2(8)



NAME
       YaST2 - universal configuration utility

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

DESCRIPTION
       YaST2  is used to configure the system. It can configure a common hard-
       ware (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,
       partitioning, software, bootloader).

       YaST2  comes with three frontends: GTK , QT and ncurses.  All frontends
       are functionally equivalent.  The correct frontend is selected automat-
       ically  based  on  the available components and the current environment
       (the DISPLAY variable).

       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.

       -i, --install <package> [ <package> [ ... ] ]

              checking, or the full path to an rpm package (e.g /tmp/gvim.rpm)
              which will be installed without dependency checking.

       --remove <package> [ <package> [ ... ] ]
              Remove  an  RPM  package. The package can be short package names
              (e.g. gvim) which will be removed with dependency checking.
