I agree that on a running system, this is not the most effective approach. What needs to be determined is to figure out how much space you can spare to download the packages and this is not very easy to do. Just imagine a package that will need to create a big new file in its post-install script (think initrd for a new kernel). You can hardly predict, only to use heuristics.
I agree, but it could be an option (where the user configures the repos) to choose what method will be used.
Remember that till suse 10.0 that was what was done. Yast first downloaded all, then installed all, then removed or kept (user option) all files.
The point is to reinstate the old behaviour.
Are you sure about this?

I would prefer it , if only as a choice. Netware has always done it this way to preserve the ability to back rev a file or the whole system in case of failure or conflict between the "update" and another piece of software installed. -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District 213 S.
