31 That sounds perfect to me.
32
33 The prompt should offer three options:
34
35 [s]end the data directly
36 s[h]ow me the data*
37 s[k]ip
38
39 You can disable this prompt by having either 'SEND_STATS="yes"' (to always
40 send) or 'SEND_STATS="no" (to never send) in your /etc/make.conf.
41
42 *) And in the next step, after showing the data set(s): Send? [y/n]
43
44 (why do all those words have to start with an 's'??)
45
46 Cheers,
47 Patrick.
