Just installed i386 10.1 on a machine not as speedy as my main box, and as I was observing the rpm's go past I noticed that every single rpm that said it contained a font of some kind would take forever to install. The CD drive would spin down, I'd start to wonder if the installation was hung, then finally it would go on to the next rpm. What in the blue blazes takes so long to install a font? Couldn't it wait till they are all installed and take a nap then instead of taking a nap for every font?

But this requires a pretty heavy change in our scripts. In the past, we simply did that: the rpms only installed files and SUSEconfig did the cleanup. But then people started complaining, that a simple rpm call shouldn't require SuSEconfig to be run and we fixed it -> now you get a SuSEconfig portion behind every font rpm update.
This will be changed for 10.2 most likely as you're not the only one to notice :) Greetings, Stephan

Unless you install multiple RPMs with one command, right? AFAIK, yast installs them one by one. Regards, Ulrich
