Hi,

I've been thinking about this issue and I've been thinking about setting 
up setup-spells, e.g., setup-sound, setup-printing, setup-net. These 
would possibly become a grimoire or setion. Then you cast these setup 
spells, it is basically a CONFIGURE script asking you what option you 
want on your system, for example, I like oggs and mp3s, so during setup 
you'd, say, choose audio-format and choose the ones you want, and then 
choose sounds support and choose alsa, etc... Once this is finished the 
spell will run the "sorcery default add "" spell on/off" command, for 
example, "sorcery default add "" libvorbis on", "sorcery default add "" 
vorbis-tools on","sorcery default add "" libogg on". It's crude, but 
should evolve overtime.

So far I have these hard coded for what I like. And it works well.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Thanks for reading, Duane
