This is something extermely easy: create a custom yum/apt source. In it put a simple package that has no contents but requires all the other relevant packages. Now all the user has to do is to add your apt/yum source and install your package. apt/yum will do the rest. > 2. Default configuration suitable for the busy admin. Repackage badly-packages ones. Or find other non-intrusive methods to change the default configuration. Those methods should be resiliant to software upgrades through apt/yum. > 3. Customization tools which are friendly to the busy admin. This is a package you write yourself or integrate from an existing package. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
