I have this happen with some specific packages which think it wise and necessary to prompt the operator with a configuration question and THEN WAIT FOR AN ANSWER! It annoys me so much that I use ps -el to find the offending program and kill it and let the config fail, and then I cross that package off my list. It has only happened two or three times, and I guess either someone else complained and it was fixed, or I didn't need the package enough to ever miss it. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
