Then please also forward my support *for* the paper packaging, it's so rare for the computer industry to use anything recyclable that it should be encouraged. We have quite enough plastic in the world. Perhaps the scratch issue can be avoided some other way? And in truth, my paper packaging has not scratched any of the CDs...
Here is a snippet from the reply of the product people: [SNIP] Yes, it might be that some small scratches on the surface could be created by taking out and in the CDs several times. But most of the customers do that only one or two times when they are installing. We have long thought of an ideal solution for housing the CDs and we think the one we found is the best. We donŽt like to take a lot of plastic instead of paper because of weight and protecting the enviroment. We always track how many complaints we get for CDs which are out of order and they are really really small in the moment. [SNIP]
p.s. I'd also love a little commandline utility that told you on which CD you could find which rpm...
How grepping for the package name using the file INDEX.gz on CD1? Example: [grimmer@wiles CD1]$ zgrep pine.rpm INDEX.gz ./CD1/suse/n1/pine.rpm ./CD1/suse/sec1/pgp4pine.rpm Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany Sometimes I wake up grumpy...other times I let her sleep. -- 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
