Yeah, I gotta say that urpmi work's pretty well for me, and I be a command
prompt kind of guy (it's the control freak in me.) I'm using it on a fresh
8.0b1 install and I used it to upgrade a 7.2 install. For the libstdc++/gcc
2.96 and KDE updates alone it was worth it!
Is there a way, though, to rebuild the default menu/desktop options in
KDE/Gnome? When I updated there were dependencies for the menu updater that
caused it to fail at several points - and I don't know what got missed.
(Although a point could be made that if I don't know what I'm missing then
it's probably not important...)
Regards,
Gio
