You guys are talking like it's the other way around, there is no subset of widgets or anything of the sort. Aside from the fact that I think the backend code for manipulating config files should be in a transparent scripting language, I don't see how Yast would help. -- Fedora 7 : sipping some of that moonshine ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
