Exactly what output are you seeking to remove? There are certain points where multistrap echoes the commands that are being passed to apt, I am happy to put those behind a --quiet option but that is about all. However, actions of apt and dpkg should not be silenced. > I would expect this to also be passed to the apt-get calls multistrap > makes. All that will do is silence apt during the update and dependency check phase, causing multistrap to appear to halt during the one phase when the user most needs feedback. Progress indicators are ugly but letting the script appear to hang is worse. If that is what you expect, I will have to close this bug as wontfix. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
