I'm trying to install latex2html, and I want to do this without having
to babysit the installation in Terminal (i.e. I want to run "sudo fink
install latex2html" and forget it).

My problem comes when Fink looks for a TeX installation. It prompts me
to specify how I want to satisfy this dependency like so:

fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The
candidates:

(1)     tetex-base: Base programs for a teTeX installation
(2)     ptex-base: Base programs for a pTeX installation
(3)     system-tetex: Placeholder package for manually installed teTeX
(4)     tetex-nox-base: Base programs for a teTeX installation
(5)     ptex-nox-base: Base programs for a pTeX installation

It then hangs until I punch a number.

Is there a way to set a timeout value so that FInk will simply select
the default value (1) and move forward after a certain amount of time?
FinkCommander seems to have this intelligence built into it, but
command-line fink just sits there, patiently, waiting for me to answer.
I've consulted the FAQ's and man page, but if such a flag is documented,
I overlooked it.

TIA,
Kevin
