then don't install those services. installing a package *IS* an explicit OK. you've been using debian long enough to know that this is the way it works....and IMO, it is the way it should work. i don't want to have to fuck around with explicitly turning services on when i install them - if i didn't want them to run then i wouldn't have installed them. what you are proposing is more work, more hassle, more stupid questions to answer for every install. if you want something different from the default then you can implement in whatever way seems best to you for your systems - but don't force it on everyone else. craig -- craig sanders
