This is a pretty forward looking feature for desktop users, as long as the packages are clean. And they normally are clean enough if they're signed packages in my experience and opinion. Now I can tell my friends that they can install the packages they need for any purpose. They are prone to being too lazy to enter the root password to install package(s), like most normal desktop users. And PackageKit rocks along with in-built presto. Of course, for public computers and servers, this needs to be modified using that fix. -- Salva _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
