sounds well :)

I´ve downloaded the package but have some questions before.

If I change
serverpath="http://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/packages/$DIR/$LANG/";
to local
/home/packages/
to save time - I´ve downloaded the packages for installation already.

How will the script now (will it ?) in which order to install the patches?

If I also want to integrate some custom packages in the script.

php from pkgmaster, ssh, cmu, qpopper update, mysql, webalizer2

- will it work ?
- what is the right syntax to add them?

Finally
GLOBAL_IGNORE="http://cobalt-aid2.lindist.dk/ignore";

- How can I see which packages are ignored by this list?
- What is the correct Syntax to add SHP and SHP_REM to ignorelist (if it
isn´t already included in the cobalt-aid2 list)
