Re: [opensuse] Stupid Updater and Stupid Installer - IMHO

Billie Erin Walsh skrev:
The official name is "Smart" but they definitely aren't "smart".

Stupid Updater says I have six (6) updates available. Click on the
"install". Asks for root password. Goes through five minutes of
gyrations. Says there are no available updates. IF there are no updates
available why did it say there were six?
I agree i just doesn't work. But I must confess I have not tried to make it work either. I installed it and assumed it would work by itself, by it never did.
Stupid Installer probably has the very worst user interface I have ever
seen on any program.
Now hold on. I agree it is lacking in layout usability but it does work and, whats more it is the fastest gui installer I have ever used. You should try it. Time your self installing a small app like kibadock in yast and in smart (from you start yast or smart to you close it.). In smart I use less than 40 seconds. In yast I use 4min and 50 sec! And I have 3500 mhz processor 3 GB ram box so don't say it's my hardware either...
