Configuring Your System with YaST
Whereas the KDE Control Center is only for configuring
your KDE desktop, you can change the installation and the
configuration of your whole system with YaST. Therefore,
administrator (root) permission is required to open YaST.
YaST holds various modules for adjusting your system set-
tings. They are subdivided into the following categories:
Software: Use the modules of this category to set certain
options for installation and update and to install or remove
software packages.
Hardware: Use these modules to configure the hardware
of your computer, such as monitor, keyboard, mouse,
printer, or scanner.
System: With these modules, you can change system
settings, such as date, time, or language, and perform tasks,
such as backup or restoration of files.
Network Devices: Use these modules to configure your
network devices, such as network cards, ISDN, DSL, or mo-
dem.
Network Services: These modules are for network ser-
vices and for configuring several clients, such as LDAP and
NFS clients.
Novell AppArmor: Use the modules of this category to
configure the Novell AppArmor application security system.
Security and Users: Here, you can configure security
aspects, such as the firewall options, and create and manage
users and groups.
Miscellaneous: Holds several modules that cannot easily
be classified into the first six module groups. For example,
you can view log files, read the release notes and install
drivers from a vendor CD.
To open YaST, press
opens in which to enter the root password. The YaST
modules offer integrated online help texts.

Managing Printers

Printers can either be connected to your system locally or
accessed over a network. To use a local printer, make sure
that it is connected to your machine. Shut down the system
before connecting a non-USB printer to your system.
You can configure printers with YaST. Start YaST and select
Hardware → Printer in the YaST control center. This opens
the main printer configuration window. If autodetection of
printing devices fails, click Add in the Printer Configuration
dialog to start the manual configuration workflow. Follow
the instructions in the YaST online help. If you are not sure
which option to choose and which information to enter,
ask your system administrator.
After configuring a printing device correctly, you can ad-
dress it from any application.

Logging Out

When you are finished using the computer, you can log out
and leave the system running or restart or shut down the
computer. Click the main menu button on your panel and
select Log Out. If you want to leave the system running,
click End Current Session in the dialog that opens. Otherwise,
click Turn Off Computer.
