No problems with the menu system, my problem is that you force the 
netscape RPM to be installed, for being able to use the HOWTOs.

IMHO this is not correct. place a

------8<------------------------------------->8--------
Provides:   htmlbrowser
------8<------------------------------------->8--------

line in "lynx" "lynx-ssl" and "netscape" RPMs. this is the correct way
to deal with it. (Even "emacs" (or the additional package giving this 
monster browser capabilitys) can get that tag, if you want to. 
If you do so, opera will also put this tag in the rpm they provide, 
as they wnt to take over percetages form Netscape ... "kdebase" also 
can get that tag as there is kfmclient in there ...) Than put a 

------8<------------------------------------->8--------
Requires:    htmlbrowser, mandrake_desk > 1.0.3-7mdk
------8<------------------------------------->8--------

line in the HOWTOs. This is how GOOD RPMs should look like.
BTW. this is the reason why the "Provides:" tag was added to the 
RedHat Packaage Manager ...

This isn't a good idea. If I want to setup a text-only server box, 
I want to be able to work without forcing RPMs in.
This way Mandrake can show, they make better distibutions then others.
