One may easily log an apt-get session, by starting a script beforehand, then using the --quiet option to apt-get to suppress the periodic progress reports on downloads.
But when I try to operate dselect within a typescript situation, all the cursor control characters (ncurses or whatever), while they do great things on a video terminal, just garbage up the potentially printed typescript; also, there still are the unwanted progress reports. Am I missing some simple dselect option that would enable a nice log of all the configuration action that takes place during an install? And, the same question for console-apt (capt). Thanks, Keith
