I (apparently incorrectly) presumed that debconf was also intended to allow for the eventual automation of replicated Debian installations. As such, I had viewed management of medium and lower priority configuration options through debconf as a good thing, provided of course, that local admin modications remained intact. Is there currently a better machanism of providing this functionality than conffiles? [Or are admins who want automated installs stuck with diffing packages whose configurations they wish to change?] Don Armstrong -- "People selling drug paraphernalia ... are as much a part of drug trafficking as silencers are a part of criminal homicide." -- John Brown, DEA Chief http://www.donarmstrong.com http://www.anylevel.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
