Why were (are?) rpmdrake and MandrakeUpdate separate applications? You could simply have them be 2 tabs on one interface. This would simplify things a lot. The name of the application (as invoked as 'rpmdrake' would simply set the tab to tab 2, and 'MandrakeUpdate' to tab 1, which is similar to how it's done already, except that they look too much like differnt applications when they are really one in the same). This would make the interface less confusing to newbies IMO (it is even confusing to me, and I have been using RPMS for years and years). Also, I can't seem to easily define urpmi sources in MandrakeUpdate like I used to, so I've resorted back to using the command line. Since I didn't really notice anything wrong with MandrakeUpdate in the first place, I personally can't say that the new one is worse or better, but I wish the interface was more like that of kpackage (or even gnorpm (same difference)). - -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9nbkPJB7s/tlHKVIRAhqTAJ0XE00UjcH8PhtHRsyD4n14nkXzmgCgh5g0 2763W5hLuVW79TIRtS31Ynw= =BTHq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
