True.

First this is an upstream problem, not a Debian one IMO. So then speaking as the upstream project lead, I think what we have is the most effective way to ensure that in case of media error, you'll be able to retrieve your content anyway as most as possible. If we adopt your view, that won't be true anymore. So I don't think it's a good idea. What we could do is rename the files to make them not having the suffix. But that should be an upstream enhancement request IMO. > I am sure that other people would find this a great feature for mondo. No I don't think so sorry ;-) Bruno. -- Linux Profession Lead EMEA / Open Source Evangelist \ HP C&I EMEA IET http://www.mondorescue.org / HP/Intel Solution Center \ http://hpintelco.net Des infos sur Linux? http://www.HyPer-Linux.org http://www.hp.com/linux La musique ancienne? http://www.musique-ancienne.org http://www.medieval.org
