12MB on a dialup connection is just too much. All we really need are the
filenames to compute the dependencies from. The changelog is nice and all,
but not on a dialup connection. And then the next day when you need to get
the updates, apparently you have to download the entire hdlist again if it
has changed.
Any chance on providing a smaller hdlist for 8.1? There was some talk
about how Debian did it, and the response was that Mandrake wants these
extra featues. I'm not against them, I like them too on a high bandwidth
connection, but is there anything against providing two versions, the
other being for dialup users?
