NAME
       YaST  -  "Yet  another  Setup Tool", the installation and configuration
       tool

SYNOPSIS
       yast2 [ options ] [ module ] [ module specific options ]

DESCRIPTION
       YaST can be used to configure the system. It  can  configure  a  common
       hardware  (sound cards, printers), network connections (network cards),
       network clients and services (like NFS, FTP), as well as a general sys-
       tem options (language, partitioning, software, bootloader).

       YaST  comes  with  Qt  (graphical)  and  ncurses  (text mode) frontends
       located in libyui-qt and libyui-ncurses packages.  Both  frontends  are
       functionally equivalent. The correct frontend is selected automatically
       based on the available components and the current environment (the DIS-
       PLAY variable).

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

              uses the ncurses frontend
