I chose to install xmms with yast sw (beta8) - apparently xmms depends on xmms-lib which is also installed. This is all very nice - except in earlier versions of SL you would be informed of dependencies before they're installed - enabling you to change your mind - or at least know what's going on before it's too late.
Is this behaviour a bug or is it intended? - that dependencies are installed automatically without "consulting" the user beforehand.
I prefer the old way. Though I'm aware that some users panic when yast asks them any questions whatsoever.
Of course in the xmms case it's not important - but if I (or some other user) were to by accident install some GNOME-package and thus installaing 100s of megs of dependencies without warning it would be a problem.

+1, it's really scary if Gnome comes around for some packages cause ir takes (most of the time) hunderd(s) mb of space so I really want to change my mind then :P Azerion
