There is a summary screen though, or do you just click "next" through all screens without looking at them. You get to a screen where you can modify your selection, and if you do you get to the normal YaST package manager where you can deselect anything to your heart's content
The summary says "This will install the following packages: foo bar baz", and then it installs a gazillion of packages. If I need to go into a "detailed selection" screen, click on "installation summary" and then find out that it will not only install the 3 advertised packages but 30, then it's not one-click anymore ;)
Anyway, it *is* scary black magic, and people should avoid it like the plague if they don't want random crap installed on their machine.
dict:random
If the packages you get installed are mentioned in config files you have installed, it's not random. But perhaps there should be a way of saying "no recommended packages" in the 1-click as well.
It should be default. Because those are usually not packages that are recommeded by the one-click-installed packages, but - in this context - really random packages ;)
And if the packages recommended by the packagers aren't good or useful, complain to the people writing the spec files.
Well, I can understand why packagers think that having e.g. gnome-lang is good if you have installed gnome packages and thus recommended. I consider this "recommends:" as correct. For me however, who only wants to have nm-applet and bluetooth-applet, gnome-lang is totally unnecessary and just takes up a lot of space and bandwidth. Thus I du "zypper dup --no-recommends". Unfortunately this is all moot if 1-click pulls all the recommends that I avoided before. But this is totally offtopic now ;-) -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"
