To start YaST in text mode on another system, use
ssh root@<system-to-configure> to open the connection. Then start YaST
with yast.
To save time, the individual YaST modules can be started directly. To start a module,
enter yast2 module_name. View a list of all module names available on your
system with yast2 -l or yast2 --list. Start the network module, for example,
with yast2 lan.
8.1 YaST Language
To change the language of YaST, select System > Language Selection in the YaST
Control Center. Choose a language, exit the YaST Control Center, log out of the system,
then log in again. The next time you start YaST, the new language setting is used. This
also changes the language for the entire system.
If you need work in a different language but do not want to change the system language
setting, run the YaST with the LANG variable set to your preferred language. Use a long
language code in the format langcode_statecode. For example, for American
English, enter LANG="en_US" yast2.
This command starts YaST using the specified language. The language is only valid
for this YaST session. The language settings of the terminal, other users, and your
other sessions remain unchanged.
If you run YaST remotely over SSH, YaST uses the language settings of your local
system.
8.2 The YaST Control Center
When you start YaST in the graphical mode, the YaST Control Center, as shown in
Figure 8.1, "The YaST Control Center"
(page 121), opens. The left frame contains the
available categories. When you click a category, its contents are listed in the right frame.
Then select the desired module. For example, if you select Hardware and click Sound
in the right frame, a configuration dialog opens for the sound card. The configuration
of the individual items usually consists of several steps. Press Next to proceed to the
following step.
