Also, I have seen lots of machines where root's mail is never read (of course there's a problem there). There should be an install log. The lack of such for dselect is one of the (many) frustrations I have with it (i haven't done a debian installation for about a year but i have not seen a log file yet). All the commercial unices (that I can remember - solaris, hpux, aix at least) write messages both to a log file and the console and tell you where to find the log file after installation. > > Add this as todo if the hooks mechanism is implemented. > > Regards, > > Joey > > -- > Whenever you meet yourself you're in a time loop or in front of a mirror. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
