Forwarding to cooker since I sent it to w9ya personally in error. This happened because I was forgetful and did not workaround his reply-to settings as he requested.

I wasn't really trying to imply anything other than the fact that I am really not qualified to discuss whether the existing interface is any good because I never use it. I do think that Mandrake should do a better job informing people about urpmi, but that is another issue, and is also largely up to us to do something about. I just find it interesting how such a simple thing is so divisive, and also how easy people think Windows is. You don't install and remove packages in the same place in Windows, there is no way to query the system to see what is installed, yet many long time Windows users insist that package management in Windows is easier. I continue to maintain, and you can disagree with me, that Windows software just seems easier because it is familiar. -- Greg
