You have a hard time because the description is missing. If the description is there you don't need to ask a friend or a search engine. > - during installation, you do nothing except looking at installation. > That's fine, but IMHO, it is better to have a fast installation, and > later be able to listen to music, etc, while installing software. This has nothing to do with the issue, let me be specific: I am talking about individual package selection _before_ the package installation starts. > Then, in order to accelerate the installation for the people who do not > select package one by one at install time ( that's IMHO the common use > case of drakx ), part of the confort of those that does was sacrified, > mainly because this feature is aimed to advanced users more than new > users discovering Linux ( who would and should take the easiest road of > keeping default selection ). Agreed. This is an explanation and a reason I can follow :) I go to individual selection each time I install to remove packages like most games and all the fax packages and some more, and to add some packages which are not marked by standard. But that's me, and I have developed a habit there :) Personally I think the localisation of the descriptions in rpmdrake is a much more important thing. -- wobo
