How to leave Yast open after software install?

English Applications
#1

Hi, I’m wondering if there is a way to keep the Yast window open after a software install is done, rather than have to go back and invoke it again? This used to be the default behaviour in version 10.x. Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps I spoke too soon, even after making the change, Yast still closes after a software install. I checked the /etc/sysconfig/yast2 file and it looks good with this entry appended at the end:

PKGMGR_ACTION_AT_EXIT="restart"

I’m wondering if that parameter is not being accepted…
