Package: apt Severity: wishlist It'd be nice if there was an option for apt-get to run the debconf configure script of all packages to install (while fully installing pre-depends first), and at the time while the user is deciding his/her responses to debconf questions, prompted by config, apt works in background so that the system fetches and untarres packages before configuring them.
This way during the time the user spends on making decisions, APT takes profit of system resources like network bandwidth, CPU and hard disk access. thanks very much. -- ---------------------------------------------------- Robert Millan Debian GNU/Hurd user zeratul2 wanadoo es http://getyouriso.dyndns.org/ ---------------------------------------------------- GPG ID C8D6942C 237F 8688 C2E5 BC64 E152 97B4 FB28 D41B C8D6 942C ---------------------------------------------------- Join us in civil disobedience and distribute DeCSS!! ---------------------------------------------------- /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
