Yeah, it used to hang up on me every time I tried to use it, so I don't even try to use it anymore. I just wait until after boot and use urpmi --auto-select. > Eventually, I clicked the wrong button and did not update the > installed packages.

Well, as stated --auto-select after boot is pretty good for us lazy folk. > Does anyone know of anything significant in the updates?

It even took urpmi a while to sort it all out - had me a little concerned for a minute, but it all worked out okay. But yeah, there's alot of stuff newer than the beta3 isos: XFree86, glibc, kde, lots of gnome stuff, gcc... I could go on & on. But I just read where cooker is going into it's initial freeze, so this will be the last huge update I imagine. Sorry couldn't really answer the update during install query tho, but it's nice to know you have alternatives. One of the best things about linux is the many different ways to accomplish something. hth, -s
