I didnt succeed with urpmi because you have to tell it where to search for hdlist which is called syntesysblablabla. I am not clearvoyant and didnt know this. And why should i know this. It is something the program could do. We are talking here about those little annoying things that make windows users say linux sucks.

Like showing/setting your nickname, complete iconset, filetransfer. Sourseforge.net search for msn. I tried a lot of them. I only found one with look and features like m$ msn named AMSN. So linux has the advantage of having a lot of programs for this service. But most of them are not complete. A windows user, used to m$ msn just wants to be able to fully use this function. He does not want all this alpha, beta incomplete stuff. This still is a problem with a lot of linux end user programs.

They dont buy it. They learned how to use windows and do not want to put much effort in learning how to work with linux. To fool them, programs must resemble those of windows and should not need ( much ) configuration. So the problem is, because they are used to windows linux has to be even more user friendly ( and faster ). Nevertheless i agree with you mandrake has don a lot and things are getting better rapidly.

This is just an example. A lot of programs need a finishing touch. Preferences should not have to be set ( cdburning programs), features complete ( msn messenger programs ). Desktop users want to work with there pc and when it is linux they want it to work as easy as windows.

Is it possible to install directly from a iso image file, thus without first burning a cd. I don't have a cdwriter.
