Matthias Saou:
I think it's already all pretty simple... here's an example
:
1) Go to
http://freshrpms.net/ with firefox on FC5 (the default)
2) Click on "click here"
3) Enter your root password when prompted
4) Run "Add/Remove Software" from the menu
That's pretty much it.
Remember, we're talking nontechnical users here. If it's potentially
this simple, good -- but finding the right stuff to install has to be
even simpler.
The user needs a button to push and a simple menu, and and interface
that *requires effectively no thought or decisions*.
