This doesn't make any sense. What is installed is a package, not a service. There are packages, like rsync, that provide more than a service, e.g. a client and a daemon. What if the user wants the client but not the corresponding service (at any time, including a short time after the installation)? -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
