When programming in Basic, I was advised to number lines as 10, 20, 30, ..., so as to ease insertions without having to renumber everything. Yes, that was before Dijkstra's invective against goto's, but since you mentioned manually editing text segments... >> To edit LSB headers may make sense for one's own scripts.

The whole idea of Debian is to ship things that work. Sounds good. >> Bottom line, I've been trying to recover some of the flexibility we >> had before LSB's.

It usually boiled down to an /early/ vs /late/ decision, which was easily answered after reading the man page. Nowadays, daemons are started as soon as you install them, without even having a glance at their configuration. Best Ale --
