Um, it's quite annoying to be constantly interrupted to interact various programs during the configuration phase of a Debian install.
If it's an absolute requirement for configuration scripts to be able to ask questions, then perhaps there could be two categories, ones which never ask questions and all the others. Run the non-interactive ones first. Also, I just did a "home" FTP installation, and there were various errors, but because of all the chatty configuration scripts, I have no idea what those errors were. Also, why does *every* window manager suggest that it should be installed as the default? And why does every X server ask if it should replace the current X server? -- -russ nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://crynwr.com/~nelson Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | Government schools are so 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | bad that any rank amateur Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | can outdo them.
