Howdy again pkg folks. I have another related question: The ICT in the installer also issues: pkg set-property send-uuid True I've noticed by default pkg sets the UUID on full images but "send-uuid = False e.g.: grep -i uuid /var/pkg/cfg_cache uuid = f4c8a9d7-144e-11de-bb5d-00144f8dc846 send-uuid = False What's the impact of send-uuid = False? Thank you. Joe
