I haven't spent enough time with 11.0Alphas to speak for changes there, but in 10.3 and older.... when you open YAST (using all default settings, no after-install tweaks, so as a new user would use it), and select a few packages to be installed, the dependency and conflict resolution does not happen until you either click the Check Dependencies button, or you click Apply... then a window is popped open which basically says, oh by the way I have all these other packages that need to be installed... no clear indication of what extra bits belong to which applicaton.
Isn't there a tickbox to enabled dependency auto-check? WHich is disabled by default as it often takes too long to check for every change.
The check is now on again, as the sat-solver speed allows to use that. But this still does not give you a clear information what will be added additionally until you click 'Accept'.
I'm beginning to think that these usability issues are really down to the experience level of the user. It sounds to me like the inexperienced user likes Ubuntu because it presents him with less choice, less options, and (maybe) less information. And YaST does the opposite, which the experienced user likes. I can almost see the first question asked by YaST during instalaltion: Tick the box: [ ] I'm a newbie, help me where you can. [ ] I'm an semi-experienced user, don't hide things from me. [ ] I know what I'm doing, just leave me alone. /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
