Holy crap! That is about the most beautiful package management system I've ever come across! Great job guys! I'll be buying 8.1 simply for this the moment I have access to it. Now, one suggestion for you guys: Can you put the ability to install from multiple sources on the actual installation section? This would be absolutely awesome, since if any updates are available for the system after the initial release, someone can install all the updates during the initial install, as opposed to having to run YOU post-install. I would about crap my pants if I could go through a normal standard install of ANY OS and have it be up to date as of the moment I installed it. One more thing: Can you add a Save this to Floppy option (both text and Qt), so I can replicate these installs real easily? I can also see this as being real cool for keeping a set of systems the same (I can make a master, and even after install, I can take all the systems to the same state). Of course, this would be even BETTER if the installation sources were maintained (I can see it now: replicate an install including online updates and 3rd-party packages from a local FTP server. My days of even semi-long installs are gone!) And last thing: This is going into SLES 8, right? ;) Thanks Donavan Pantke
