Why? NetworkManager is already removed from my SUSE 10.0 because it ate a lot of CPU cycles. What does it do what I do not can do without it? Is it's use optional?
You can just not install it and everything will work as on previous releases. NetworkManager is very handy for those travelling in different environments, especially different LAN and WLAN ones. It makes it far easier to switch between Networks for a normal user. It has seen many improvements since 10.0 and if it still uses lots of CPU cycles, I would ask to open bugreports with the NetworkManager folks.
When I found out that my system was slow because of NetworkManager I did a "man NetworkManager" to find out what it brings me but no man page was found. Is that fixed for the factory version? (Currently downloading, it will take a while on a 5Mbit link).
No, it does not come with man pages so far, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
