Adding smart to YaST

Indeed, ... I think that ability to use the ability to edit YaST for many aspects is the neat thing about this thread. I think the observation made that one can also put icons (for launching applications) in places other than YaST are very negative in the context of this thread, and are a Red herring to what you have shown us.

YaST is a place where many of us go to to find a GUI to help configure aspects of our PCs, and its really neat to read up on someone adding to YaST.

Thanks for your posts!

Nice one Jonathan. It means if sax2 will still exist in opensuse 11.2 final we still can add it in yast.

Good observation.

sax2 runs on openSUSE-11.2 RC1, and at this late stage prior to the GM release I doubt that they will remove it.

Any volunteers to try this (adding sax2) ?

I'll do it once I get openSUSE 11.2. Basically it should be the same thing, just in the *ycp file change smart --shell or smart --gui to sax2 and whatever options you want. Then add the appropriate icon the the specified place, and modify the *.desktop file for sax2.

This is what my YaST looks like now.
