Hello,
having just installer a lot of new openSUSE, I notice that it's nearly mandatory to install packman. It's not that easy for a bare (openSUSE) beginner.
now one have to go to repo management, community repos and get a lot of options...
most user never go through this more than once, given the 1 click install and yast.
so I beg it could be more efficient to give some less steps, a bit like selecting the windows managers:
when one go to repo management, he should be in front of a windows with
(title) Most used Community repos: x add packman x add libdvdcss (title)build service repos * build... * build... (link) Other way to select repos
what do you think? thanks jdd
I have a question: are you trying to bring down openSUSE from the geek level down to the Windows or Ubuntu level by this suggestion? Why not suggest that such obvious necessary repositories just be activated by default - and then users will be able to choose if they want to install a file in any of those repositories? Nah, I guess not.....it would be just too much of a pro-active move..
