Ahh, thanks for the tip, I had never heard of such thing before. My plan was to make a task-custom-setup package to do the actual modifications in postinst. Hmm, it would seem to me that you would need to dpkg-repack packages every time¹ they get upgraded. Unless you do that before an initial installation, the customized changes won't be included. Once installed, either way, the changes persist thanks to the way conffiles are handled. Anyway, thanks, it's always good to know the alternatives. And you have to start saving that $1M somewhere... :-) ¹ We will be using sid on some boxes, this is not a real problem with potato. -- Tommi Komulainen [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG 1024D/68388EE6 6FD6 DD79 EB38 BF6F 3533 09C0 04A8 9871 6838 8EE6
