Does that make sense? Yes, and I agree that it would be ideal to have the derivations built prior to system activation -- that way, the activation scripts could be included in 'show-what-to-build*'. > On a side note, what would happen if one of those builds failed? Would > the system activation be left half-done? Yes. You raise another very good reason for why system activation should be carried out by a single, atomic activation script :) Regards, Jakob
