<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I guess the following might work:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">to disable before installation:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">(this would have to go in every package
unfortunately)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><install cmd='disable FBWF'></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> <condition></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">
<check if FBWF is on/></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> </condition></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> <exit
code='successfully disable code' reboot='true'/></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"></install></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">this will disable FBWF only if not already
disabled and force an immediate reboot without marking the package as installed
- on the next boot would skip this part and go on installing the package</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">to enable after installation:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">have a package with priority 0 (so it
installs last) and execute="changed" attributes. This means this
package will only install if some other package hat a state change (install/upgrade/remove).
Enable FBWF there.</font>
