This is a ::newly developed program, not a bug fix. Exactly. YaST2's whole packaging subsystem has been rewritten from scratch as I've been told. No they didn't change from RPM..I mean the way that YaST2 handles RPM's. So of course there may be major system changes so that YaST2's new found ability works right. The user will most likely not have to worry about such things but maybe..just maybe it's to much of a change to have for 8.0 :) Beside if you have 8.0 then just buy that upgrade which is 1/2 the price of the Pro package and by the time it hits the states it will have been 10 months since the previous release. That's not so bad..is it..is it really? :) Cheers! -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.
