Hmm... I think maybe we should prompt the user if they want to remove unused hardware packages - because that screen showed the packages that would be removed, IIRC, and also, removing unused hardware packages takes a lot of time and we don't show dialogs of the process (which maybe we can with gurpmi?) I think the remove unused hardware packages is actually going, but no progress shown makes the user think the system has frozen. -- cheers, Robert :: protocol.by/rxu
