2.11 YaST in Text Mode
This section is mainly intended for system administrators and experts who do not run
an X server on their systems and depend on the text-based installation tool. It provides
basic information about starting and operating YaST in text mode.
When YaST is started in text mode, the YaST Control Center appears first. See Figure
2.6, “Main Window of YaST in Text Mode” (page 73). The main window consists
of three areas. The left frame, which is surrounded by a thick white border, features the
categories to which the various modules belong. The active category is indicated by a
colored background. The right frame, which is surrounded by a thin white border, provides
an overview of the modules available in the active category. The bottom frame
contains the buttons for Help and Exit.
