Pity it is not possible due to technical limitations, from the user perspective it would be very useful.

I don't think that the changed installation order could help in any way, it would only increase required disk space for installation.

I am wondering, what do you think -- would it be possible to add an option in SM settings to control this. I mean -- for me it is "cheaper" to download those ~150MB (average) at once, and then install them, because it is not problem for me to have such free space. However downloading even half of that takes for me an hour. And in general -- I don't think 100MB is a problem nowadays to store, ok, it could be, but as I said, it would be an option for it. So by such simple reordering user would get "almost" rollback feature. I think it is worth a thought. If it is really invalid, please close it. For me, it has advantages: * semi-rollback * abort would be much safer (it takes longer to download package, than install it, so it is unlikely that somebody would want to kill SM in installation phase, and in download it is 100% safe) * possible to take advantage of this design to provide other features (reported) as remembering downloaded packages, it would be solved by design, no extra stuff * better handling of errors during downloads -- see rollback Disadvantage: * one option more -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
