I agree, but in fact it installs great heaping boatloads of programs,
not just libraries. For instance I got both a 32bit and a 64bit KDE
(not just KDE devel packages, but all the KDE programs and stuff as well).
That's the part I don't understand, why so many i386 packages that have
zero relevance to libraries or development?
