For user selection in menus: Add an additional "Skolelinux" menu item containing the major 10-20 preferred applications. For automatic selection when double-clicking a document: Make a script that runs through /etc/alternatives and various MIME databases to prefer a list of applications over other choices. Sure, it's a hack. I believe it will be until debian at some point designs some grand coordination between various MIME databases and the old and simple alternatives symlink pool. - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er n�r: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCJxMun7DbMsAkQLgRAi9RAJ9tB2bt7OECC/ylN7q4B/IJkla3CgCffbVi l/OjhaeHh9k+AaBsrJv17rA= =fTpp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
