[SLE] YaST - F2 for package description
Hi, SuSE people. I think I noticed that YaST 1, for SuSE 6.4, does not behave the same way for `F2', giving the detailed package description, depending on the CD-ROM being currently mounted. The file list is only given when the CD-ROM number 1 is there, it is empty otherwise. I would easily understand that the detailed contents of all packages may not be reasonably repeated on all CD-ROMs. Yet, let me suggest that YaST, instead of giving an empty file list, gives a short explanation about why the list is empty, and how one should proceed to get it fully. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Sounds reasonable - I will forward it to the YaST developers. We had to leave out the package descriptions from the other CDs due to space restrictions.
