Earlier in this thread we had https://lists.debian.org/20141111180749.7e240...@fornost.bigon.be The claim there is that the two processes are *functionally* the same; different routes are taken but the same end result is achieved. In an attempt at injecting some software neutrality into this discussion let's consider netcat-traditional, which d-i automatically installs. Some people prefer netcat-openbsd so they preseed its installation. In what way is a system *functionally* different from one which d-i gave netcat-openbsd automatically. It would be nice if you regarded the word "functionally" as an essential qualification of "equivalent" or "identical" and not dismiss it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
