Thoughts, Ethan? i don't like this, ofboot.b should not be treated as a shell script by users, its interface is internal to ybin and not very easy to use by a user. its purpose is now exactly the same as lilo's boot.b and quik's first.b i would prefer to keep the name consistent with those. ybin.b first.b whatever. but .sh is bad. my view is documentation is the best way deal with this, put a debconf notice in the postinst or something. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
