Before proceeding with my question, let it be known that I am a Linux newbie.....having spent the last 7 or 8 years in Microsoft-land (VB, ASP, ASpx, C#, etc). With a new Linux project assignment I'm getting my feet wet quickly with SuSE SLES 9.<br />
<br />
My questions are:<br />
() how does one create &amp;&nbsp;build a new YaST theme? Can't seem to find any doc on this.<br />
<br />
() besides the SuSE YaST doc, what are the best sources for info on configuring and/or customizing YaST?<br />
<br />
I want YaST to appear as close to vanilla as possible (w/o SuSE graphics and text such as &quot;SuSE&quot;, &quot;Linux&quot;, &quot;Novell&quot;, etc). Also I need to configure specific YaST screens so that user options listed are a subset of the defaults. &nbsp;And, I need to tweak some of the Help text displayed in YaST. (This last one looks like it comes down to changing inline text in YaST control files xxx.ycp).<br />
<br />
Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.<br />
