Regarding YOU, after the patches are downloaded and the screen is repainted, what do the various text colors mean (red, blue, black), why are some boxes checked and some not, and what does YOU expect me to do next? I'm staring at this screen which is very colorful with absolutely no available help. This is an awful end user application (imho).
Is it documented anywhere what these colors mean?
I don't know about documentation, but blue is for patches already installed, black for patches which are about to be installed, empty if there is a patch available for a program not installed on your system but is on the suse cd's, read text is for security issues, blue text for non-security issues, black text is (ok, I haven't figured that one out yet :o
Is this why people use fou4s because YOU is, hhhmmmm, lacking?
yes, it is lacking very much, I can't even point the updater to a cd, so I have to waste time re-downloading all the updates for each box instead of d/l'ing once and burning to cd like i used to (a step BACK from yast1 !!). Can't put it in a cron job either, heck even windoze has an auto update feature now...(those are 2 hints for SuSE and 8.2 ;^) -jeric -- JericAtSbcglobalDotNetwork 11:18pm up 1 day, 15:07, 6 users, load average: 0.03, 0.16, 0.15
