In case you also lack an executive summary of that: The last GR was not which-init-system, but which-system-by-default. This GR is not anti-last-GR but refining -what-else-than-default with -and-more-than-default-must-be-supported. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
