[Khalid Aziz] > Not everyone would want kexec reboots by default. I agree, but I suspect quite a few of those installing kexec-tools want it. And those who install it and do not want it can disable it.
The reason I ask is that I would like to include kexec in Debian Edu to speed up the boot time on servers, and we want to preconfigure services to behave as wanted out of the box. If we install kexec-tools, it is because we want kexec at reboot enabled. An equally good option for us would be to have some debconf question at install time to enable it, or even a hidden debconf question to allow preseeding (and never show the question to the user). > With USE_KEXEC=0, old behavior on reboot is maintained. kexec is new > functionality that is not critical to system functionality, so it > makes more sense to me to disable it by default. As you understand, the important part of my request is to be able to install kexec-tools and get it enabled at install time using preseeding. It is not a problem if the normal default is to disable it. Friendly, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
