Re: [yast-devel] System Update: Add Internet Repos...

So I'd rather go for:
Install Software from Pre-Selected Repositories
Or "pre-defined". Or simply "from configured repos". The problem is that these are not preselected. You only get a list of unselected repositories :)
They are pre-selected or pre-defined either by SUSE or by the user hinself. It is just that these repos are not actived by default, I'd say. Or in other word, this is not arbitrary stuff "from the Internet" and thus the user can confidentiality go for it. If you just say "from the Internet" many a lot user will surely stay away from this option. At least, that's my gut feeling.
I'd rather avoid the word "Internet" in the option label (we could mention it in the help text instead). Maybe, the user also has to install packages from his Intranet, packages provided on an update server by the local admin. Then he should not use that option as that option is really from "Internet" material.
Thought Lukas said this also covers repos selected by the user previously... -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

They are selected only if they are listed there (downloaded from list of repos - XML stored on a web-server). It's just consistent this way: select a repo, let installation initialize it, go back and the repo is selected. That's all. Anyway, I like Stano's idea "On-line Repositories" :) L.

Yes, Online is fine. We probably can write it without a dash ;) Later on, use the same term "List of Online Repos". Once you know about the background, the update dialogs are not too bad ;) -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org

Could you, please, then summary all strings how they should appear in those dialogs? ...using the "On-line/Online Repositories" Thanks Lukas
