Yeah, I forgot to mention the tmpfs bits even though they crossed my mind. That means it's using memory and not saving the contents across reboots which limits their value quite a bit, I think. Anyway, I would rather have a way to turn that on in the field rather than leave it on for everyone. It's just not that useful for the users unless there's some kind of automated reporting or way to get at the data easily. As it stands today there isn't. And logging in sugar is handled differently. --Chris _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
