All the RFCs are defined as finite-state engines. There really is NO reason that a tool capable of making all the correct configurations need to be "predefined" and "fixed". It's 30 years since I did FSEs in university, but I'm pretty sure we learned that they could _all_ be automated, even then. >> Why would we ever say that?

Give me a break. My recollection is that the "disk images" came after the initial proposal, but even so: "yeah". What makes a _second_ disk image any more significant than the first? If the first is correct, then the second, with specific mods to make it reflect a unique machine, is not that difficult. -- derek -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
