Hi,
I decided to give rug and zmd a try. Instead of starting Yast to install a
single rpm, I thought I would try rug. It can't be so bad... after all,
this is 10.2, I have a pentium IV machine, we are on the XXI century, and
problems have been ironed out...
Ha!
nimrodel:~ # rug install xalan-j2
Waking up ZMD...Done

See the log. I started at 11:40:

So, it finished everything at 14:42 Three hours! Good grief!
Rpm reports: "Install Date: Fri Mar 9 13:18:02 2007"
Till now, I had kept rug and friends thinking they might be useful some
time, but... this is unbelievable!
And watch this:

During that period, I refrained from calling up Yast. Each time zmd
awakes, it says it is going to sleep 24 hours, more or less. Each time it
awakes before 6 hours have passed, even if there is nobody working on the
computer. And it is a full hour of 100% CPU... What on earth does it have
to do all that time?
This is progress for Novell? :-/
