I think they provide the basic functionality. However you cannot setup a share. I don't think that configuring a share should be done in the postinst package. This is a task that can done multiple times by a the sysadmin, on a daily basis. I'm not sure that dpkg --configure should be used on a daily basis to manage your system. > We are then back to the fundamental > question of using tasksel for one package.

We may have more input there. -- Mathias -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
