As soon as you can go to YAST>Software Management type beagle in Search then click to delete you don’t really need Beagle& Suse 11.1 will function without it.
I’ve never understood the reasoning for putting in Beagle it’s totally non-essential to function & no matter what Pc I used it slowed it down & was completely useless as a file searcher.
I got a great suggestion for 11.2 & beyond Drop Beagle!!

That’s a bit harsh, think of all the people transferring from the latest
MS Windows
What’s needed is a “bloatware” installation option to load all the
features equivalent to those that make MS Windows what it is, rather
than being the default

I always remove Beagle within seconds of a new install. I absolutely loathe that program, and have no idea why it keeps getting installed by default in every version of OpenSuse when everyone hates it so much.
Did somebody’s wife write that program or something? And it can’t be left out or hubby will have to sleep on the couch? That’s the only explanation that sounds reasonable to me.
Hm, i dont remember that doggy screwing the system up in previous versions of opensuse. (used suse from version 9, and had 11.0 on that same laptop with no probs).

I also remove beagle after install completes. I was also told you can remove
strigi (desktop search) but I haven’t on my 11.0 yet and have not on the 11.1 I
installed yesterday but Beagle came off!!
My computer was running rather slow in part due to beagle. Also it was using my cpu a lot, which caused a lot of fan activation. I decided to uninstall everything associated with it using Yast->software management, but I couldn’t remove libbeagle1 because it had a bunch of dependency problems with totem and many other gnome apps. Is there a way o fix this?
I don’t personally know of anyone who uses desktop search under Windows. I realize that someone, somewhere wants it, or it wouldn’t have been developed, but no one that I know uses it.
I’ve always felt that desktop search was a solution in search of a problem. But that’s just me.

I basically agree with you (apart from someone wanting it )
The reference was to “installing by default”, BTW, and making Linux
mirror the actions of MS Windows.
