Dear Mail-list!
Maybe you didn't get my point...
I meant to include my adjusted configuration files in a way
that they are installed intead of the default ones.
For example, there is the file /etc/smb.conf. It contains
only the default values and I would like to have my
smb.conf with my adjusted values placed in the /etc
directory during install. Then I wouldn't have to adjust them
after the installation...
So to speak: Is it possible to have my adjusted config files
(i.e. my current /etc-directory) installed instead of the
ones Mandrake included?
I know it's a difficult task...
Thanks in advance.
David.
