Re: dselect



My harping about remembering selections has to do with selecting to
upgrade something that requires a reboot to take effect or messes the
system up until it IS rebooted. Then not running dselect again for a month
and in the meantime, a newer version of this is uploaded to the FTP site.
You run dselect, forget that you had selected some obscure package that is
quite large or requires reboot, select a bunch of docs, walk away while it
is downloading come back to find that you need to reboot a network server
and knock a bunch of folks "off the air" for a few minutes.



I am giving .sigs a break this month
