"Available" is taking too much space on my netbook JK> screen. Nice little icons to give visual feedback. The "available from" information could be on a new line to show all the info. I think icons are typically used for familiar things, so it would be puzzling to the users to see an icon for a repository name. They wouldn't know what icon corresponds to what repository. You can, of course, do this on your own with text properties. But I don't think it makes sense for all users. Ted
