Try 'dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=dialog debconf', and select dialog from the questions it asks. Do give the slang frontend a go, if you have the libterm-stool-perl package installed and a vaguely recent version of debconf; it's very nice. (debconf does have a configuration file used by all the packages that use it - /var/lib/debconf/debconf.db - but it's easiest to use debconf itself to change it.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
