You guys think that removing for example adding of update repo from installation and forcing the user to figure out himself how to do it manually later, will make openSUSE easier for people to use? Isn't ~everybody _supposed_ to set up update repo sometime anyway?
One of the things we've noticed on IRC with 10.2/10.3 is that a significant proportion of people skip the connection test or registration steps, thinking "I don't want to send any information to Novell". So they end up without security updates. Meaning - Their systems become insecure. - Installation of nvidia/ati/madwifi drivers etc fail once the kernel module symbols change IMO it should be less easy to opt out of having the update repository configured. Users simply are not adding it themselves with community repositories or even noticing that the tray updater warning them it can't check for updates. Perhaps have it added by the installation with option to remove it later. Even if no internet access is available during installation. It can be separate from the registration now that we have the redirector surely? -- Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
