Why do you need root? (And you don't need the docbook/sgml stuff, I
don't mind doing the 'compilations'.)

Ok. I've inserted the raw data, will mark it up over the course of the

I like it, by the way. :) Thank you. Nice job.

That's what Deb is currently listidle doing - setting things up so that
there's a lot of roles, each with their own manager  (profiles,
