Hello SuSE people,

1 Right after I boot up I see my modem flashing like crazy. Is that the updater "calling home"?

It may be caused by the Updater, but my modems always done that, SUSE, Windows, or Mac OS

2 After awhile I get a pop-up that it has new updates for me. I click on the icon to see what they are and it shows 3 updates. I say OK and the next thing I know it is downloading many files. Much more than the three it said it was going to get. Some I can see like kdebase3 (which it didn't tell me about) and some go so fast I can't see what they are. What is going on?

The extra it's downloading is dependencies the system needs.

3 Sometimes it tells me it wants to update programs I don't use like Samba and don't have installed. Why?

Not so sure I like this "automatic" stuff.
