It is no bug: The logic is to ask again when new possible better options comes around, or if your choice disappears. So if you were british, and had choice between american and manual, you'd probably choose american - but when later the british option is added it makes sense to ask again. On the other hand, if american, british and manual is offered, you choose british, and later the american package is removed, you won't get asked again. (or please file a bugreport if you do ;-) ). So back to the original request: Since initramfs-tools currently simply enable all hooks without asking, the needed logic is actually simpler than the (deliberate!) one of dictionaries-common. Hope that makes sense. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
