- I have yet to see the equivalent of YAST for overall system configuration.
Maybe the bits of it are squirrelled away in the new KDE, which I haven't fully explored. Is there a separate GUI-based system configurator?
Not that I've heard of. There are a lot separate ones, but not a yast type thing (although webmin is an admirable substitute IMO)
- When running xf86config it suggested my mouse driver is most likely to
be /dev/mouse. Fine, except that driver doesn't exist. I expect it's only a symbolic link but nothing told me what to point it at. After some scratching I tried /dev/psaux and all was well.
Yep, just a symlink. I had the same problem when I installed debian.
So, I guess you can say 'another convert'. Now I need to load it up with everything I can think of, run it for a week or two then hopefully take the plunge and do my main PC.
And when you do, try linux from scratch on your back up machine. I learnt more in the 6 months I was running LFS than I have done previously or since (and after seeing the multitude of binaries on debian, which I haven't got a clue what most of them do I feel the slight urge to go back to it)
