You can also put the name of the category in /path/to/overlay/profiles/categories to eliminate the error message. That seems a bit more appropriate, since it allows you to edit the overlay without mucking around in /etc. Also, if you publish your overlay or sync it to several of your own machines, you or your users don't need to edit anything when the overlay changes. -- Batou: Hey, Major...
