Thanks for pointing this out, I hadn't noticed it (this is the sort of thing DWN should be mentioning!) but it does seem to be uber-cool. If all Debian packages got around to using Debconf for all their config, this would be the absolute bestest thing possible. All that would be needed extra is a way to get all possible questions from a list of packages and answer them without doing anything to the running system. I guess fiddling with debconf.conf and apt-get would probably solve it, or something in apt-utils... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
