There could be a check button in the pop-up for "disabling the DVD as source permanently". In the same spirit as the automatic addition of repos, it would avoid having to close the package manager then opening the source manager, then opening the package manager again to have a smooth install of many packages. > BTW, libzypp does not have support for repo priority, so this is kind > of next step after we can make it deterministic where the package is > downloaded from. I think the repo priority is the right direction to automate this process. You don't want the DVD to be disabled by default when the repos are enabled, because the installation is orders of magnitude faster from the DVD, but you want the DVD to be preferred _if_ it is available, instead of being requested with a pop-up every time. -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
