You mean the I can't write code? ;-)

I had to bounce from directory to directory to different config files to
get set up.  Horde, Imp and Turba.  Many of the files have areas to
customize or simply uncomment the appropriate lines.  One was for the
different installed modules.

Why can't this be done in one file?  Select modules.  Select the
authentication method once.  Select the database once.  Etc.  For
legacy, a line bypassing the new 'master' config file for those that
choose to.  It seems this would make writing an install script much
easier.

I realize it seems simple for those that don't  have to do it. Well, you
need SOME half wits as guinea pigs. We fill in the gap between end user
and coder. Sorry I can't code, but if you want to make a astronomical
telescope, I can give you tons of help.
