One of the things I am worried about is situations like when the system has installed some old Additions version and the user installs current Additions following our instructions, and then the system does some minor update, partly or fully overwriting our Additions and the end result is not very pretty. Ubuntu makes it pretty clear that it is installing the Additions (and asks the user first) which makes that less likely, though the user is quite likely to end up with a wrong version that will have to be manually removed again so that they can install the current one - again, not a good experience.
Do the other distributions do things like Ubuntu, or do they just install the package silently? Regards, Michael -- ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
