I think you didn't get my point and thus at least should try to reply in 'friendly' mode. Your subtone in the writing is more than... how to say... unfriendly!

I did not whine about the CDs at all. I for myself use DVDs and I'll probably always stick on this. And I don't complain that openSUSE has 5 or 7 CDs (as in the current state) BUT, (and that's something Novell is also working on!) that the default installation is using the least of these CDs possible. I think there's nothing more annoying that you have to put a CD just for 3 - 5 packages (which I remember was once back a while) and then the next CD has to be inserted. So by arranging the packages on the CDs, this can be resolved and gives a much better user experiance.

So please: if you don't understand what somebody is talking about, then ASK! And ASK friendly and don't just flame around like you did!

And what about the other people that select a different set of packages at install time then you do, they will still need to insert cd #? for only a couple of programs. What you ask for is almost impossible except for the default install set of packages that is not modified.

That's why, in my initial post, I wrote that for the 'USER ALWAYS CLICKING NEXT' ! And that's exactly the way most users are installing it (except if they already know more about the system, like probably you and guess what: also me! THESE users are probably the ones a bit new to Linux and THEY are the one that can spread a good word besides the pro! I mean for myself there is no problem at all! I download the DVD, burn it and add the FTP Repos as additional install sources. Regards, Dominique PS: I'm wondering if people on this list just try to post for having posted or if they sometimes read the complete posts? I know, it's a bit of work and sometimes it requires some point of understanding, but hey: isn't this normal for discussions?
