To be able to have the entire system at your control in ONE application? I
think I'll take the waiting for it to finish writing the whole system
config.

I don't want to have to search around for it. That was my point of this
post, to get something into YAST2 that lets me just search for it in YAST2,
download it and install it without dependency hell.
Go there and download the RPMs and make THAT work fast. Not so fast huh?
With my application, you'd type Eterm in the search and it would install
it for you.
Mainly I just want something that could rival Free BSD's pkg_add -r tool.
Anyone who has used that knows it is great.

I think I pointed out that it could be an add on package not in the default
install..... You know, like gaim.
