Ahh yes so it does. I suppose that I think the default for the -l option should not be 0 and that in the docs it should say about checking out /var/log/vsd.log if encountering problems. Am I alone here?
Or perhaps in the docs it could mention more about doing "vsd-install --help" as I have just done this for the first time and didn't even realise that I could configure anything! So can I do "vsd-install -u -l=1" to enable logging on the current system?
