As far as I know, it won't - at least not if dotfile only Suggests dotfile-module.....and even if it does do it for Recommends, the behaviour of Recommends is obnoxious enough that it should NOT be used in this situation. the individual dotfile-modules should Depend upon dotfile but except for the initial install of dotfile, i can't see much benefit at all in having dotfile Suggest dotfile-module. craig -- craig sanders networking consultant Available for casual or contract temporary autonomous zone system administration tasks. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
