What was Suseconfig. What did it do, and why is it gone?
Just a casual question. I’m curious.
If you know, a short basic explanation is all I need. I don’t want a long detailed answer and/or links to technical pages that will take a lot of reading.

Hi
It’s a script and still in use on SLE, from my SLED install man page;
SuSEconfig configures the system according to the variables that are set in the various "/etc/sysconfig/" files. It uses
the subsystem specific scripts in "/sbin/conf.d/" to configure the various subsystems. For example the variables in
"/etc/sysconfig/postfix" are evaluated by the script "/sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.postfix". SuSEconfig acts as a backend for
YaST2 and activates the configuration changes made by YaST2.
Reason it’s gone here -
