[CLUE-Tech] Quick Question: SuSe vs Redhat

[Keith Hellman]

I recall it being under 'System / RC-Config' in yast2 curses mode.  The
strange (I think) thing is that most of the things yast2 does is via
plug-in components (IIRC) - so if you don't have the rpm for a component
installed (like soundcard detection, printer setup,...) you won't have the
option.

The strange thing is that these components DON'T take up a terrible amount
of space, and I dunno why the SuSE default is to simply install them all.
