Hi Geoffery! Thanks for the research!! Is it a binary program, or is it a script? If it is a script we could simply roll our own version. Otherwise 2MB is not much anyhow (compared to how much space we are saving). I would be willing to add 2MB in order to have a full update manager running. We could check each time on startup, and have it configurable. Maybe write something to make it possible to check every day, hour, etc.. It would be cool to figure out if we could install security updates without a password, to not bother the user, but simply display a different icon to show it is downloading security updates. Either way, I am sure I could incorporate this into sdesk.
I need to work on a front-end for sdesk. As it is it can be hard to configure everything (especially for a new user that doesn't use terminals). Look into whether it is a binary or not, and when you find out I will test it and see what I can do. I do have a few other things I am working on right now... but I will try to find some time for this.
