DIFROM is the older release mechanism and has he advantage of being independent of Kernel. For example, if you were to install VistA from th ground up, you'd begin with Fileman, and then install a standalone mini-KIDS via DIFROM, and then use it to bootstrap your Kernel install. Once Kernel has been installed, you can pretty much use it for everything, but DIFROM is still available. The advantages of KIDS include the fact that it is much smarter about VistA components, giving you finer control of the install and better vertsion tracking. The disadvantage is that it's a bit more complicated, and you do end up creating BUILD and PACKAGE entries. So, if your goal is to surrepetitiously move data onto a system, it may not ber the tool for you. :-) === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Metaphors be with you. ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
