No, I don't think so. A conffile usually is a configuration file, too. /etc/pcmcia/network.opts is a conffile of pcmcia-cs, and it is a configuration file that has to be edited by the user to make it work. In this case, a user of my package (netenv) would have to a add a couple of lines to it - or, as I said, a script or maintainer script could do it for him. A package with similar functionality, whereami, yet has its additions added to this file (and /etc/pcmcia/network). Bye, Frank -- Frank Küster, Biozentrum der Univ. Basel Abt.
