I also find it amazing that for the longest time people said " if it doesn't hold your hand and do A, B and C then it won't displace Windows.." and now that it hold's your hand..even to the point of holding it down as MacOSX and WinXP do...now people are bitching. I just don't think that anyone can be satisfied.
I think they need a "2-track" install, selectable right at the beginning of the install process. One is the current "hold-your-hand" yast2 install, and the other is a "yast1 style" install, which allows you to do want you want. And SuSE could have a disclaimer, that they offer no support if you do the independent install. I would even settle for an option to "permanently disable all dependency checking", which I find to be it's most annoying feature. You can turn off "automatic dependency checking" each time you start yast2, but it always comes back on by itself, and forces unwanted rpm installs. (And don't tell me that "taboo works", it dosn't do it right) SuSe is still great, but it could be better. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
