<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt">Hello,<br><br>from former updates or package selections<br>if you have mdv installed for one year and you only choose some packages<br>keep a record of what is not selected (not wanted) on the system by the user<br>based on these things it could guess you don´t want everything to show up on your screen<br>and i think some users might benefit if they would have less packages to choose from, the new users...<br>when i first installed mdv (last year after i deleted mdv 2008 from my netbook) i needed some programs i looked for them in ´install and remove software´ and some were confusing me...<br><br>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´t like the idea of being forced to accept something), after let´s say 100 installed packages the user´s selection profile can start to be clear<br>if he only selects gui packages, it´s clear he doesn´t want other ones on the screen<br>also if he has a profile on the mageia website, the profile could save the user´s packages clicks online<br>when he logs in, mageia could just download his former profile without asking (or maybe asking is good)<br>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<br><br>while updating, maybe he never chooses and always updates everything... in this case a button ´install all updates´ 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´t care what would be best
 for him to update<br><br>Dan.<br></div><br>
