--nodeps doesn't have anything to do with rebooting, and it doesn't disable scripts. --noscripts does that. Regardless of how you feel about scripts, --nodeps and --noscripts are only likely to break your system. Scripts don't change your settings, or "bluecurve" your system. They mostly configure new packages or fix things that need to be moved. Dependencies are what they sound like. Every package (mostly ;) is going to require other things to run: programs need linkers, libraries, or interpreters. Dependencies describe what a program *depends* on to function normally. Ignoring them is like ignoring that your car depends on gas. > Ok, I'll do some verify in the end but I won't give up the --nodeps.
