I don't know if it is needed, or is the best way to phrase it, but there should be some message for, say, kernels, which aren't put to work just by being installed. Kernel modules are a gray area, but I'd expect the package to DTRT in its post-install script, making the prompt unnecessary. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' The Great Writ <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' is no more. <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
