I think we have a difference of emphasis rather than opinion. Absolutely, installation isn't special. There shouldn't be a difference between what you can do at installation and what you can do later. The tools should be the same and look the same. The difference is that I would start off by making sure it worked for the installer and then re-use that all the rest of the time, rather than taking something designed for use on a running system and shoe-horning that into the installation system. -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
