Hi Frank,

to be honest I'm glad that LinuxCare and HP deliver some base
instrumentation, that is part of the Pegasus main package. It helps
provider writers understand the process, it serves as a test case and -
most important - increases the value of Pegasus for Linux Distributors.
If you want to have more functionaly - BTW, thanks for your praise of
'fsvol' - you can always substitute one of these base providers with
something more complicated derived from NPI (by changing the Provider
Registration you can do that even at runtime).

Regards,
Markus
