<sounds of retching> I'm sorry, but I cannot guarentee that such disgusting hacks will continue to work accross new versions of base-config. Especially when I'm not even told about them in advance. > So anyway, if this is not 'the way' to do it, what is ? Have you tried reading base-config(8)? The IMPLEMENTATION section describes how anything can drop a script into base-config's directory, and it will be run along with every other script in base-config. You can thus drop in a nice little script that sets up the debconf database however you like, and that runs before base-config has done any prompting. I designed, erm, I mean, threw this together, explicitly to support folks like you who are trying to do noninteractive installs and other interesting stuff. > What would you seasoned debian developers recommend ? Generally and specifically, RTFM, if the FM doesn't allow you do do what you want, file a bug or get in communication with the maintainer. -- see shy jo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
