[horde] Help!

[Hobbs, Richard]

Hello,

This is exactly what i've done... almost. i started from scratch.

seems a shame to have to start from scratch though... it's not a quick
process setting up Horde, IMP, Turba, Mnemo and Kronolith... lol

Would it be feasible to build a script that shipped with later packages,
that read through config files for variable names and values, and updated
the new config files?

Unfortunately, i have very little script-building knowledge , but it's
just a thought...

Thanks for everyone's help!!

Richard.
