Yes, it is. I noticed that a while back, and promptly forgot. I think that preconfig.sh is writing it, but then freenet.config.Setup is adding a %... shouldn't the hostname option also have a special-cased isInstallation ? or am I reading this wrong? > > The meaning of the % symbol is in the comments at the beginning of the > config file. And it seems to be a generally annoying idea. I suppose that it's supposed to handle the case where 1) the user didn't change from the default, and 2) the default changed, so just bring them along... but... it seems to me that there's got to be some better way to do it. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
