While that would work, it does seem odd to be asked two things: "Staging drivers (y/N)" if Y is chosen, they then get asked: "Exclude Staging from the build? (Y/n)" It's like, "are you sure you really want to build this part of the tree?" If that would make people's lives easier, I have no objection to it, it's just kind of funny :) Stephen, what do you think? thanks, greg k-h
