Is: # echo "kernel/stop-a=0" >>/etc/sysctl.conf # sysctl -p really too much for you? That takes care of everything and is the way to go. Why do you need a script or an environment variable for this? There are so many things in /proc/sys, do you really want to be asked about everyone of them at installation time? Would somehow be against the current road: no questions or as few as possible.
