Quick question for anyone familiar with SuSE:

In /etc/rc.config a lot af files that are accessed by Yast can be 
configured; also see /etc/rc.config.d. In /var/adm a Yast and a 
SuSEConfig are present.

Finally there is /var/log/y2log here you can find all steps that Yast is 
taking.

When you start Yast all probes can be seen on screen F10.

btw, SuSE changed Yast after the 7.3 distro; almost all config files are 
now on the same place as RedHat has them. If you edit them manually, 
Yast should view them correctly.
