OK, just remove some of the links. But are these changes recorded somewhere as robust as /etc/default/xprint? Will they weather a apt-get remove; apt-get install as well as /etc/default/xprint? Or does one need a extra notepad to write down what one did? OK, maybe sysv-rc-conf has such a recording system, but it still isn't integrated with weathering a remove/install probably.

See, that's why I don't want to 'tangle behind the maintainers back' with the links. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
