If the user hit enter on 'No' there could be another question asking whether to just report that you installed a new machine. The default for that question would be 'Yes'. Hm. To reduce the number of questions asked during install, I suggest having three options for the popcon question: [ ] No, don't use popcon [X] No, don't use popcon, but notify that you installed a new machine. [ ] Yes, use popcon The middle option would be the default. It would do a HTTP GET to some debian.org machine. However, this opens up for people setting up bots to destroy the statistics... /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
