Furthermore, the script cannot be triggered out-of-install, which means that once the shell session is gone, the information is gone. (It's still in the log but it's not so convenient to read and you must know what you are looking for in advance.) -- Pierre Neidhardt --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEUPM+LlsMPZAEJKvom9z0l6S7zH8FAlsc9VMACgkQm9z0l6S7 zH+MWgf+IoDBBydj75Mn9IMe6osQ2AUOFFOUqGa254AB+fMNXNnZyqxp7xxLVxxh JQpY5PH9tdlOl+jwkyai4A8/Zbzzc5iT2TrPzEDt2xrPpvuFXmiINa+eBS1swsj/ GJPaC0lO0bpEaLlPCYYTo1s0utILAntZRkvRGKxvnv0htlDny47T/CBtVbJhEwhA o5JCntaAPnt1xFSe26VMPih2SADbtSdAFQtAQLyqYif8isY/ZBwG6iXwCINZGFxo oRj4MpnhAkm5nQAQid58pf4RS6OvY7utGJ9KZNyC5PMfvvxEV8lPtf+G7qMSxLWA wyXqE2TcUxbKtkn9jyfcH5YPs8QCjA== =gDr7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
