Package: netenv
Version: 0.82-11
Severity: wishlist
Hello!
I have downloaded the "netenv", and I've found it very useful, but I
missed something from it.
The first thing what was I missed is the default selection. If I select
something at the first time, then next time I want it to the default.
I hacked it into the script, but it is quite a dirty hack, so a much
cleaner solution would be better. I replaced the "cp"-s with "ln"-s, and the
/etc/netenv/netenv is a symlink in my version.
My version of the init-script and the netenv script is available at
http://spam.sch.bme.hu/~dlux/netenv
Warning: these are DIRTY hacks! It may not even work!
Another problem, which is not addressed in my hacks, is the timeout
issue. It would be good if I can set a timeout (e.g. with sigalarm), and this
would kill the dialog and continue the boot with the default option.
