Abstract
In addition to numerous YaST modules for system installation and configuration, SUSE LINUX also offers a feature for repairing the installed system. This chapter describes the various types and steps of system repair.

This dialog is shown in Figure 5.1. “Selecting the YaST System Repair Utility”.
