For "jack-in-the-box" (preconfigured) systems/packages like RedHat rpm's / other binary distributions, this would also have the same advantage. [currently 3 or 4 binaries are created depending on the amount of modules you want and in what way you want them configured] -- Dan Hardiker [dhardiker@staff.firstcreative.net] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative
