Hi Thomas, YAMASHITA Junji <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested that texconfig should be able to work automatically with whiptail when dialog isn't available.
Package: whiptail Description: Displays user-friendly dialog boxes from shell scripts. whiptail is a "dialog" replacement using newt instead of ncurses. It provides a method of displaying several different types of dialog boxes from shell scripts. This allows a developer of a script to interact with the user in a much friendlier manner. The patch to implement this is simple: --- tetex-bin-1.0.7+20011202.orig/texk/tetex/texconfig +++ tetex-bin-1.0.7+20011202/texk/tetex/texconfig @@ -139,6 +139,7 @@ { u=`uname -s`; } 2>/dev/null case "$u" in FreeBSD|Linux) + test -f /usr/bin/whiptail && DIALOG_PROG=/usr/bin/whiptail test -f /usr/bin/dialog && DIALOG_PROG=/usr/bin/dialog test -f /bin/dialog && DIALOG_PROG=/bin/dialog ;; cu Adrian -- Get my GPG key: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | gpg --import Fingerprint: B29C E71E FE19 6755 5C8A 84D4 99FC EA98 4F12 B400
