In some situations it might be good to know the current command, but I think that it would be very strange for beginner users to see some strange commands... And sometimes it's not possible to show performed actions - for example library calls... If you want to know what yast is doing look at the log (/var/log/YaST2/y2log). > This came to me today thinking about how yast checks the integrity of a CD > for pass/fail.

In this case the yast module is just a GUI for "checkmedia" binary. You can check a physical medium or an ISO image - e.g. "checkmedia /dev/sdb" or "checkmedia img.iso" Each medium contains checksum in the ISO9660 application area. The checksum is added by "tagmedia" (see checkmedia package). > Yast normally works well and is a very powerful value added package.
