I have used this feature in ksh before for many years. But I'm unable to get it working here. I would rather stay in the same shell that everyone is using here so that we all are on the same page. Since I'm the new guy, I don't want to make too many changes. I'm already requesting to get

I would think that build recipes are far more useful. Be they in any machine-readable format. Definitely. And in the same vein they are more conducive to the appliance foundary concept too -- e.g. the kind of thing that Jason Williams said (earlier in this thread) that his company needs.

Getting rid of CDs is not a good idea at least for a while. I deal with users from around the world everyday and there are many who do not have either DVD reading or writing capabilities. (Some don't have CD burning hardware either, but that is getting to be rare.) Surely many of these will

We've got some statistics which show downloaders seem to prefer let's see the numbers. DVD images over CD at about a 2:1 ratio - but we don't know if those downloading CD images could use DVD images instead. The data you have in hand clearly says that you have a pile of people that do
