While the aforementioned thread does contain a patch to fix an immediate bug, /usr/sbin/config does contain some other issues and short-comings (a couple of which are outlined in existing threads on arch@ and current@) that a minor reworking could fix. If I'm going to attack these already known issues I figure I should ask now if there are any others anyone else would like to address or if there are any features anyone would like to propose for discussion. As long as the idea doesn't involve a spot watch, python or contain the words "to just know," I'm open to pretty much anything anyone else is... :-) Ideally I'd like to pull a list of requirements from this thread when everyone's done. -- Adam - (http://people.migus.org/~amigus/) Migus Dot Org - (http://www.migus.org/)
