This is good advice up to the comment about YaST. It prefers that you use it to build the files. If you just create your own (Example I build my own resolv.conf file sometimes) YaST will show a warning during the SuSEConfig portion of the process (actually its SuSEConfig that creates the warning). It will create the file the way it wants with .SuSEConfig appended to the name. -- Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com Resident SuSE Bigot. ;-)
