Except in very limited circumstances, there should be no need to reboot the computer after installing a package. The only exception I can think of is something related to the kernel; in general, root should be aware that a reboot is required to make that functionality work, but may want to defer it indefinitely (for example, on a server). So yes, the right way to do this is debconf, but what you want to do is probably the wrong thing. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 713 440 7475 | http://crustytoothpaste.ath.cx/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
