I was talking to a Tech Support SE from HP who wrote the script in SAM. He admitted that there were some bugs within SAM. But when I ask him where are those bugs, he snowballed me at the end. Just FYI, the bug that I spotted was in adding new peripherals, particularly adding terminals and modems. When one use SAM, the entry in /etc/inittab will not be correct. At the same time, the device character file in /dev for the new terminal and / or modem will be screwed up, particularly in the minor number field. Just to let you guys know. Peter Nguyen
