Hi
well, the new software manager has a lot of problems. where is the search in
description or file list? but I think the most important problem is the fact that some
of the packages only appear in "flat mode" view. some of the most important ones are:
fvwm - my favorite window manager
bind-utils - how come this is not installed by default (even in workstation mode)?
have you ever heard of a unix without nslookup?
knsplugin - konqueror doesn't accepts netscape plugins without it.
many others that I can't think of now.
I hope they'll fix that soon.
