what about: "Hylafax should have been configured properly now. If you answer 'YES' the server will be started now; note that RUN_HYLAFAX=1 will be set into /etc/default/hylafax so that it will start on boot as well. 'NO' will leave /etc/default/hylafax as is and server won't be started now. It might be started on next boot anyway, though, if RUN_HYLAFAX=1 was already set." p=low here ie likely a newbie's behind keyboard; so a bit of explanations won't hurt ;) > I would use preinst for anything required during install.

This is why the note have priority 'low'. If the install/upgrade the point is that it'll start anyway if restart=true, regardless of priority and user's answer. It's fine to go straight on and obey the 'restart' state, if priority was >'low', but once user is asked, his response leads. If he said 'NO' then server shouldn't start, regardless of 'restart'. > Do you still think it should be changed? I may do it, but I cannot block > the installation process prompting the user with a 'high' priority no need to block, nor change priority: if debconf is set for p=low, then user is asked and script must obey user's choice. Otherwise, all rest been equal, previous state set final state. thanks -- paolo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
