It would be very nice, and probably fairly easy to be able to migrate a zmconfig.txt from a previous installation to a new one. It seems somewhat tedious to answer all the questions each installation. In reality, I think very little changes between versions wrt the questionaire.

Hi,

This is kind of the idea really. If you download a new version, or have a new installation just run 'configure <options>' and then copy the zmconfig.txt from your existing install to the zm directory. Then just run 'perl zmconfig.pl -noi', assuming you don't want to change anything. It will figure out which configuration to add or drop and sort your DB out in one go. Then just 'make', 'make install' as before.

Phil,
