Add/Remove Software

Sun Apr 27 16:18:14 UTC 2008

I am not sure if anyone has commented on the
Add/Remove Software function but I find it
almost impossible to use. Following are a couple
of comments:

1) It appears that you can only Add or Remove
    one package at a time.

2) The Filter function is almost useless

3) After every Install | Remove the entire list
    must be refreshed

4) Depending on 'whatever' it often displays
    Packages multiple times

5) I calculate that if I spent several days
    working steadily with this function I still
    would not come close to finishing.

Maybe I am missing something that makes
this function usable; anyone have any ideas?
