Please elaborate what you mean can "trigger later". Simple example: Choosing via debconf to have adduser create homes below "/srv/home" instead of the default "/home".

What could in such case "trigger later"? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
