Thanks, Jukka,
I checked out those screenshots yesterday (most of them), and found it 
interesting to see how it looks similar and how different from Mandrake

Blessings & Thanks,
Ruth

Oh, so there's the meaning of YaST - I kept wondering what that stood 
for. I see the answer in your email as I re-read it.
