[packman] openSUSE one clic install

[Hartmut]

Hi jdd,

I'm using Packman for a very long time and never saw any reason for a 
"one-klick-install". If I ever install openSuse on any computer I insert 
the Packman-repository into the install-script (add repository) and 
everything's fine.

If there would be a one-click-install for a whole bunch of 
"audio-video-basic" then I have to sort things out: what would I want to 
install and what not. So I will not approve such button. What's good in 
your opinion, is perhaps not good in my.

The whole time I work with Packman-software I did not see "huge updates 
nearly every day.", I saw them some (few) days. So what?

Regards,

Hartmut
