There sure is.
There is a bunch of stuff I would like to get rid of also. Including kpowersave. When I see the dependency hell to remove something I don't want, I just sigh, shrug my shoulders, wonder how that could possibly be, and thank the lord that we now have these huge hard drives that will carry the bloat.
And... how many hundreds of megabytes will removing that package save? Is it worth the time and effort spent?
That's why I sigh, shrug my shoulders, and continue on. Not worth it. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
