Just installed opensuse 11.3 KDE as a vm, after installation did zypper up and it asks me to agree to a microsoft license
why should I agree to a microsoft license when installing a linux distro? I don’t get it and I don’t like it.
Hello shalom938,
Because of the license openSUSE can’t distribute the MS fonts together with openSUSE.
Therefore there’s a script called fetchmsttfonts which will download the fonts after installing openSUSE.
Of course you still need to agree the license they’re under.
You may need these fonts on websites.
Sites can use these fonts because they assume that you’ve got the fonts they’re asking.
So I recommend you install these fonts.
Good luck!
Edward, Thanks for your reply.
but lets say I don’t want these fonts and I don’t mind that some sites will not show good for me, zypper update doesn’t give me the option to skip it.
You simply stop it by not agreeing to the MS licence.
but then the whole zypper update process stops…
well, never mind, I’ll just agere with that.

Yes, it does, but you have to know how to do it. As with any other update
you do not want.
