So does ZENworks. It downloads everything first and then hands over to libzypp which installs 'stepped'. > That approach has advantages and drawbacks ;) ;-) Transaction based is right for a small set of packages or when you have cyclic dependencies. It gets harder with new installations, cycles involving lots of packages, or even multi-CD installs. You'd need a pretty big harddisk. Also RPM isn't too smart handling transactions in case of failure.
