Or to be even more innovative: Make this a configure option in YaST.

Yeah, but let's avoid the term "source" (as in "installation source")--that's too closely coupled with "source code". -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH GPG: 1024D/06EB882E B2A3 AF2F CFC8 40B1 67EA 475A 5903 A21B 06EB 882E --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

On 2006/12/13 16:22 (GMT+0100) Klaus Kaempf apparently typed:

it seems that my question about naming proposals caused some confusion in the community. It was not intended as a final decision for a name change and I apologize for the wrong impression it might have made.

In order to achieve consistency and a professional appearance of tools and texts, wording changes will be reviewed by the SUSE style guide maintainer. We will include the community in the review process in the future.

For openSUSE, Rebecca Walter is to lead this process. A respective announcement will follow in the near future.

I hereby invite all of you to watch for the announcement and work with Rebecca to achieve a unified naming of 'that thing'.
