Talk about STUPID dependencies.
Not really.
Maybe not STUPID, but stupidly annoying sometimes. It would be really nice if a dependency could be flagged as *essential* or *optional*. For example, in a network with no Windows boxes, it narks me a bit to have samba installed because some networking package supports it, but would otherwise function completely without it.
But if I DON'T install the firewall packages I can't run the ntp client nor the http-server client.
I believe you could run them, just not configure them through their Yast modules.
You CAN run both without the firewall, or the yast firewall module installed, but yast will complain about dependencies every time you run the install/remove module. Dylan -- "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" -Dark Helmet
