Yes, same here. It takes *forever* to search the system for installed packages. -----Original Message----- From: Paul W.

I've noticed that when I use Yast to search for installed packages on my system (using F5 under Package Information), the search takes several minutes - far longer than it takes to search the CDROM. Since the search appears to be almost entirely a CPU computation, I'm puzzled as to why it should take so long. Have other people had the same experience?
