We're working on improving this. 10.1 does more than 9.3 did, so it takes longer - but it shouldn't be that bad. I expect 10.2 to see further speed-ups.
Well I ripped out the prior version, but this one seems to do well enough that I am leaving it in. The slowness of updates is an annoyance, but since updates are not that frequent, and since I subscribe to Secunia Security Advisories I usually have an idea of how soon I need to apply the patches. The odd part is how long Yast takes if I leave the Zen/Zmd packages in. Just going in to install another package from the DVD takes a huge amount of time. A lot of this time is while its reading the package list. (For the record I don't actually have the DVD mounted, I just put the ISO image on disk). Maybe thats a problem? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
