Thanks, I appreciate that. I've had quick responses to all my previous queries, so I don't mind waiting a bit this time 8-) > Also theoretically, > you could simply remove the crontab changing code if your users promise to > never use the dependent rc.<package> sections.

Ignorance makes me braver 8-) On a more serious note though, I am worried about making too many changes, and it sounds like it can't be avoided. > By the way, you don't have to build the bootstrap script from > source as root.

The question is (and I realize you may not be in a position to answer this) after building, for the install, is there anything within the openpkg root dir or below that would be negatively impacted by running as non-root? I installed as the user 'opkg' and it warned me that various steps were not being performed (/etc/shells, user + group creation, etc.), which I knew about from reading through the .sh script, but what's not clear is the impact within the openpkg directory.
