There are times when I need to re-use the software manager in yast. This may be at times when I'm trying to build a package from a tar file and I don't know all its dependency and therefore I install packages as the process fails due to missing packages. Other times it may be that the system has installed packages that not only do I not want installed but actually cause packages that I do use to fail (e.g. cyrus imap gets installed automatically and this causes my dovecot server to fail). I not only want to uninstall cyrus but I wish to mark it as taboo. I find that I cannot do this in one step so I uninstall cyrus and then have to restart the manager to and wait for it to refresh all the repositories and then mark cyrus as taboo. When I was testing out gnome I think that the manager there had an option to keep the manager open is there such a thing in the KDE version. (No, although it is yast the presentation in the two desktops were different, at least the last time I checked.) So, from the KDE side of things is there a way of keeping the yast software manager open while one processes files etc. until one is finished and then wants to close it? (I hope that you understand what I'm trying to say). Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
