Can we use metapackages to break the modules into easy to install classes? That would keep the default list reasonably small without making life difficult for those with a minority interest. Classes might include: USB Mass Storage - for card readers, usb hdds and cd/dvd drives, includign filesystem modules USB Networking - for ethernet and wifi dongles USB HID - for keyboards, gamepads, etc. Advanced packet filtering - for more esoteric firewall and traffic shaping needs _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
