Yes. > I don't think 'Other' is suitable as a hint, since hints needs to be > globally unique, they are not keyed to a section. Understood. After sleeping it over, I think that the others could need a bit rewording. What about: Web, Mail, News, File Transfer, Access, Wireless, Messanging > > Now the question is how to go forward.

Hi Yann, I will try to work through all hints section by section and come up with a list like the one above as well as tag the entries as appropriate. Do you have anything in this direction, I could work on? Updating all packages with menu-files is not possible pre-sarge. updating only a few will probably kill the optimized menus completly. Would you think it possible to create an overlay which is used by menu instead of the files in /usr/lib/menu/? Since all menus carry dependency information, this could be a seperate package containing all modified menu-files.
