Dear Henrik,

Thanks. Your mail gave me a lots of views.

I thought that wget status message occupying window so
that I put -q (quit) mode there. But new version will
be with status (-N) support within two days with
additional updations.

I have used a logic as patch<number> Where number is
used to give the order of patches in bugs index page.
But the problem is when you do patching from top to
down or down to top for squid-stable7, it is making
problem as "hunk#1 succeed at 1. something like that".

I have removed "| bash" operations.

I will be getting an input to give their IP-Address
network else by default it will take 127.0.0.1 address
to allow web-access. Others will be denied default.

I have designed to build squid for non-existing
machines. But now I have changed to include the
machines to upgrade their squid server. I am currently
working on that.

When I tried on few machines, with out setting
visible_hostname squid server is making problem.
It is stating error as "Fully Qualified Domain name"
is needed. I hope it is problem with resolvation from
/etc/nsswitch.conf file hosts: entry. Is it like that?

Yes. I am using squid -v output for the upgradation of
squid operation.

Have a nice week-end.
