Coming new(ish) to yumex after smart, I find its control of repo-selection unreliable; but smart can get bogged down in dependency resolution with eg the Fedora repos and prefers to sort out a few packages at a time. Otherwise kill -9 :-(
interesting. i have not had problems. at least not that i am aware of. i am not familiar with 'smart' so i can not comment about it. i am currently using a friends system, setting it up for him. i erred in installing from a 6.3 live cd that i made for another purpose, as i did not give thought to how lacking it would be for a working system. seems like nothing is every easy when i try a quick way. :-) sure as "God made little green apples", i found out just how lacking it is when i started setting up for new repos. i am pulling in the 6.4 boot iso now. after, i will put it on a 256m0 memory stick that has been collecting dust. then i will wipe this installation, reformat and install a fresh system. currently, i have 6.3 on a memory stick that i have show some folks how easy it is to use linux. 2 want it as a second boot, 4 want it to replace oos. i do believe the 2 dual booter's will end up moving on into linux once i set them up and show them how easy it can be to play their games under vm. i noticed that download is finished, so i am "off to the races". thanks again for waking me up. later. -- in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc. hago. g .
