YaST and libc

S.u.S.E. Linux 4.4

From 4.4 on, YaST is statically linked to the libc, so that it should not give any problem with the libc.

S.u.S.E. Linux November 95, 4.2 and 4.3

If you have installed a libc newer than libc.so.5.0.9 (November 95) or libc.so.5.2.18 (S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2 and 4.3), the usual YaST does not run anymore.

In this case, install the YaST version statically linked.

S.u.S.E. Linux 4.2 and 4.3

Install the package yast_st from the serie a.

S.u.S.E. Linux November 95

The simpliest for you could be to use the install disk's YaST. It is an a.out executable and runs if there is a libc.4 anywhere (usually in /lib). This YaST is really made for other terminfo entries (ncurses 1.8.5), but it works - at least on the console. In the worst case, a black/white display is obtained. You reach this YaST as follows:

Copy the image /cdrom/disks/install on a disk
dd if=/cdrom/disks/install of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k

Mount the disk
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt

Copy the executable
cp -av /mnt/YaST /sbin

As said, you must have a libc.4 in the search path for the shared libs, but anyway, currently nearly each path has already this. If not, the a.out libraries are contained in the package libaout.tgz in the D serie.
