What's next? prohibiting 'tip of the day' kind of dialogs? First run wizards? Or warnings that this is a dangerous/experimental/developer/debugging tool that might eat your dog if you aren't careful? Note also that there for each case of such a thing is two people to actually acknowledge its existance. 1) the upstream author. and 2) the debian maintainer. If both of them for whatever reason thinks that the right thing is to have a click-thru disclaimer, then I think we by default should accept it, and if in some cases we think it is very wrong use our defined processes in debian to deal with such things on a case by case basis. /Sune -- Do you know how can I do for booting the floppy disk of the 3X printer from the control options menu inside Redhat Linux NT? You either should ping a wordprocessor, or have to cancel a EIDE mouse, this way from the control file within Outlook you neither can ever open the desktop, nor must enable the printer over the serial DLL file to a USB site of a icon of a SCSI GUI in order to turn off the sound board. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
