HI,
This morning, I have been trying out wicd/wicd-gtk in place of
NetworkManager. This works pretty well so far. So, I was trying to
erase NetworkManager-gtk and this is what I get:
===============================================================================

Transaction Summary

Remove 7 Package(s)
Installed size: 34 M
Is this ok [y/N]:
I wonder why these other dependencies would specifically depend on the
NetworkManager-glib/gtk. The network is understandable, but
specifically NetworkManager-\*? If this needs to be reported, what
should it be reported under? The specific individual components?
A couple more questions: where do I set up wicd to be automatically
started upon boot? I seem to think I knew this, but could not find it
anywhere in my notes -- sorry I can usually not find much of the little I keep
:-(
Also, are there any benefits to using NetworkManager over wicd, say?
The former seems too big, with all its dependencies, but an in-house
Fedora product from what I recall.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
