A suggestion: USE_FAKE is not descriptive. It doesn't tell what is fake or what happens. I'm not sure fake is the even the right word. USE_FAKEROOT is better, but still ambiguous: it's not really fake, and "root" can mean too many things. I guess what I'm trying to say is consider a name that describes what is accomplished, not how it works. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
