Basic principle of interface design: if a complaint occurs because the user didn't know what to do, it's almost always the designer's fault. Particularly if there are no affordances or other cues to give a hint. If the conf file just said "Run <command here> to unmanage this file. Run <other command here> to reconfigure using debconf," then this entire thread could have been avoided. Along with all the irritation and inconvenience for Debian users. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
