I have to agree although I'd point out that many package managers (on GNU/Linux notably) usually show this level of detail. I believe Ubuntu hides it behind an expand point, but it is available. I don't see why a high-level view isn't sufficient -- it's certainly more efficient cpu wise. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
