System Conguration Using the syscong Editor
The YaST syscong dialog is split into three parts. The left part of the dialog shows a
tree view of all congurable variables. When you select a variable, the right part displays
both the current selection and the current setting of this variable. Below, a third window
displays a short description of the variable's purpose, possible values, the default value
and the actual conguration le from which this variable originates. The dialog also
provides information about which conguration script is executed after changing the
variable and which new service is started as a result of the change. YaST prompts you
to conrm your changes and informs you which scripts will be executed after you leave
the dialog by selecting Finish. Also select the services and scripts to skip for now, so
they are started later. YaST applies all changes automatically and restarts any services
involved for your changes to take an effect.
