It also solves one of the single most requested features of YaST ever, namely that if you install a package that has received an online update since the release, you now get the updated package immediately (assuming a working connection to the update repository, of course). That is something YaST has never been able to do, you always had to install the original release, and then run an update
Actually, that is NOT true. If you set up yast so that one the installation sources pointed to wherever these newer RPMs were located you could go direct to the newest release, without installing the older one first. I used it many times pointing to Packman. But let us assume for sake of argument, your point was correct. It STILL takes less time to do both the original install plus the online update than it takes JUST to do the original install of what we suppose to be the latest. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
