Hi again Mandrake developers, Here is a possible option during install:
"Would you like to save all the packages from the installation CDs on your hard drive (will use x.x GB)?" With massive hard drives these days it is often convenient to save the contents of the CDs locally and get rpmdrake to use these packages, and not from the CDs. That's what I do now. It would save a bit of messing around if this step was automated during install. Furthermore you could also ask: "When security updates and bug fixes are downloaded, should these packages be stored locally after installation for possible future use?" You could ask that question when a source is setup. These would be nice but of course you know the priorities a lot better than many of us, so it's up to you :-) Damon
