That one was really not good, but after 6 releases with 7th comming next month, situation in package management is quite the opposite. Default (download and immediately install each package) can lead to broken system in case that connection to server fails, but you can configure package management to download all and then install. See /etc/zypp/zypp.conf for details. Long ago, when my network connection was not reliable, I used to install minimal graphical system and then when I have working system install the rest of packages in a few steps using default options for groups. Now you can do the same with patterns. That way I would avoid network timeouts, and if that would happen it was easier to repeat. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
