SUSE YaST Tools
The YaST administrative interface is one of the strongest features of SUSE Linux. From a SUSE
desktop, open the YaST Control Center by selecting System???YaST from the main menu. Figure 4-2
shows an example of the YaST Control Center.
YaST has some useful tools in its Hardware section that enable you to probe your computer hardware.
Selecting Hardware Info on my system, for example, enabled me to see that the CD-ROM
drive that YaST detected was available through device /dev/cdrom and that it supported CD-R,
CD-RW, and DVD media. I could also see detailed information about my CPU, network card, PCI
devices, sound card, and various storage media.
