</div>It's been requested by more than one person. I agree that's it's<br>
simple enough to edit the main sbopkg.conf but I guess there are a few<br>
folks building packages for 12.1 and 12.2 and want to be able to<br>
switch back and forth easily without having to constantly edit<br>
sbopkg.conf. I doubt most will need to use this feature, IMHO,<br>
although it's possible that adding this will allow future<br>
configuration of other options from within the dialog interface.<br>

<br></blockquote></div>Is this a reference to users having the same home directory for multiple installs, or the same /etc directory for multiple installs, or something? If you're running 12.1, you'll have a 12.1 environment. You can't just tell it to build a package for a different version of Slackware, can you?<br>
