Description Charlie Barfield 2011-03-19 01:00:30 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.4

i have packages sources on my network but Setup didnt install the stuff needed to mount SMB shares (and mounting a network share is required in Yast2 before adding it as a package source). and i want to be able to just install Smb related stuff before downloading all the items marked Autoinstall, so i can add a SMB network directory. THEN will i install the items marked autoinstall.

fix one: temporarily disable autoinstall
fix two: ditch the necessity to mount a network share ( could be considered a temporary source)

also, licence agreements (flash and stuff) should be shown just before commencing the downloads, not before the "changed packages"(automatic changes) box comes up.



Reproducible: Always

The license agreement dialog is intentionally show that early. This way users can click all dialogs before the installation of packages starts and don't have to wait next to the computer.
