So we would have two options: a) Start the install script in _batch_ mode: passing to it the name of an 'answer file' containing the answers to the questions that that would be replied to by the user when /not/ in batch but in dialog mode. or b) Start the install script in _dialog_ mode: using either the (n)curses or the gtk or the Qt interface. IMhO this would be absolutely great! :-) Karl-Heinz - -- Karl-Heinz Zimmer, Senior Software Engineer, Klar�lvdalens Datakonsult AB <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."
