I guess you missed my point. The point is, the setup for the webserver stuff and the modules to be loaded by it... and the bind configuration and the configurations it uses. The "split config" setups in Exim and Apache and Bind and other services. Webmin globs them all together. There lies the "upgrade" issues I speak of. I know Webmin supports Debian Woody/Sarge/Etch, but not in the way debconf can continue to manage it without bailing. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
