I guess I was assuming the install program would ask at the beginning of the install if you wanted to have sources installed too. So it wouldn't be a per-package option (for the distro installer) but a global one. That way, once you have set up your target directory, chosen the disk sets you want to install, and whether/not you want source code, the installer would pretty much run unattended. Of course, the standalone fdpkg program should have a command-line option so if you're installing a single package afterwards, you should always be able to specify if you want to keep source code. -jh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
