Yup. Especially as "add a new installation source" means (openSUSE 10.2) - Calling yast - Enter password - Call source manager - about 3-10 minutes waiting for inst-source updates - Getting URL (konqueror, firefox) - Entering URL in inst-source (C&P) - Retyping URL, as we forget directory or were a directory to deep - Wait again, lots of clicks - Go to installation - about 3-10 minutes waiting again - search the tool - select the tool - install the tool - 3-5 minutes waiting for SuSE config Compared to - wget URL:xxx.rpm - su -c "rpm -i xxx.rpm" - Enter password I only do the above for tools I want to be kept updated all the time.
