Reading file list of all packages would bring really significant performance problems which would be much more annoying than confirming one warning. I don't think there is anything than a "Don't show this warning again" to do. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is becoming an FAQ...

There is no reasonable way to find out to which partitions files will be installed. Even if we did have file lists for all packages that are not installed (which we don't have and which we won't get because of disk space and network bandwith issues), there would be no reasonable way to figure out what symlinks might point to other partitions where typically no packages get installed.

So we play it safe and include all Linunx partitions in that warning.

As for some "don't display this again" checkbox somewhere: If you have a patch that implements this in a reliable way, we will gladly apply it. If not, I don't see a realistic chance for this.

Looks like I'll be using Fedora for another semester in the school labs. Everyday more and more bugs get marked as "Won't Fix" for trivial little end-user interface bugs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
