Right. I'm just saying that YaST is not good enough in my world.

Also some things may have changed. But unless you do a SuSEconfig when 
changing YaST controlled files manually, stuff will happen later on.

One of my first problems with this was my bootloader being reconfigured 
after adding a soundcard! Not good enough.

Anyway. This is not something that I really want to discuss. I'me merely 
communicating my personal opinion of this tool.
