Broken pgms

Why is it that the required files and libraries are not distributed with the package? Can any arrangement be made for the same? Like... When s/w s are d/l ed one may not be able to install it (errors like ncurses are missing and all) User end people find it very very difficult... They hate searching net for every single thing jus to install one single package. I have been hearing this for a thousand times.. Is it just about the size consumption or is there any other concern?? -- Mahesh Its sure to be dark if you close your eyes. http://maheshmukundan.blogspot.com/

Apt-get and yum uses internet,rt... It all started when we argue on need to use Linux. This is one of the areas where i get stuck.. What will general public do if they do not have an access to internet. M$ has succeeded wonderfully in this part. Almost all installations come with all the required files. I am not talking about the installations from within the CD provided. But an outside package.

Sure.. i will check about this.. But, as mentioned above, that is not the exact problem. Why cant a separate installation like that of a modem driver, come with all the libraries and other dependency packages ready. If its already installed, ok,fine, forget it; but else, its a great asset. Atleast we wont have to go to net.. But i do see a big stupidity in my suggetion. At times the dependency tree may also point to the base packages.. well, we dont need to provide an entire Linux installation set, just tyo install a single package either!!!! :) Perhaps some work has to be done. And a standard be developed so that anyone developing a separate package, pack the installation in a particular style that the general public is not affected much... > > > Anyways thats my opinion.
