Configuring debconf
-------------------
Packages that use debconf for configuration share a common look and feel. You
can select the type of user interface they use.
The dialog frontend is a full-screen, character based interface, while the
readline frontend uses a more traditional plain text interface, and both the
gnome and kde frontends are modern X interfaces, fitting the respective desktops
(but may be used in any X environment). The editor frontend lets you configure
things using your favorite text editor. The noninteractive frontend never asks
you any questions.
1. Dialog 2. Readline 3. Gnome 4. Kde 5. Editor 6. Noninteractive
Interface to use: 2
Debconf prioritizes the questions it asks you. Pick the lowest priority of
question you want to see:
- 'critical' only prompts you if the system might break.
Pick it if you are a newbie, or in a hurry.
- 'high' is for rather important questions
- 'medium' is for normal questions
- 'low' is for control freaks who want to see everything
Note that no matter what level you pick here, you will be able to see every
question if you reconfigure a package with dpkg-reconfigure.
1. critical 2. high 3. medium 4. low
Ignore questions with a priority less than: 4
