My point was a simple page showing all that had
been installed and those that hadn't and little checkboxes for installing
(uncheck for uninstall?) the packages, saving the need for ftp etc. I think that
some people who rent boxes as 'admins' don't have the time to mess around with
things like ftp and think 'well it won't happen to me'. I am subscribed to the
announce list, but I am sure that I haven't seen all of the packages come
through on the emails, I only seem to get one once a month.

Once that's done, I exit the shell, and go back to the GUI... There's
a new choice there, called "Loaded". I use it to install the "Loaded" packages. When I'm done I move those packages (again using a shell), into an unprivileged directory somewhere under /home, to save them in as an archive and in case I ever need them again, to not have to FTP them over, or in case for some reason the Cobalt site stops carrying the old ones. --------------- |
