+<PRE>Hello,
+
+from former updates or package selections
+if you have mdv installed for one year and you only choose some packages
+keep a record of what is not selected (not wanted) on the system by the user
+based on these things it could guess you don&#180;t want everything to show up on
+your screen
+and i think some users might benefit if they would have less packages to choose
+from, the new users...
+when i first installed mdv (last year after i deleted mdv 2008 from my netbook)
+i needed some programs i looked for them in &#180;install and remove software&#180; and
+some were confusing me...
+
+so by keeping a large scale record of what users usually select, a default
+guessing can be forced on every user on fresh install (the buttons show more
+and/or show less would be good for someone who doesn&#180;t like the idea of being
+forced to accept something), after let&#180;s say 100 installed packages the user&#180;s
+selection profile can start to be clear
+if he only selects gui packages, it&#180;s clear he doesn&#180;t want other ones on the
+screen
+also if he has a profile on the mageia website, the profile could save the
+user&#180;s packages clicks online
+when he logs in, mageia could just download his former profile without asking
+(or maybe asking is good)
+also if the user suddenly is a better linux user and for another 100 clicks he
+selects all kinds of packages, the former 2000 clicks should have less influence
+on what appears on the screen, than the last 100 clicks
+
+while updating, maybe he never chooses and always updates everything... in this
+case a button &#180;install all updates&#180; as a tooltip near the clock instead of the
+mdv usual would be faster, painless, and appreciated by a new user who has no
+idea and doesn&#180;t care what would be best for him to update
+
+Dan.
