Then the solution is to write a simple script: ====================================================================== #! /bin/sh ./debian/rules binary dpkg -i ../*.deb ====================================================================== Even this shall not be totally non-interactive, since the package may ask questions while installing. Is this what the original poster wanted to achieve? manoj -- Dave Barry Your digestive system is your body's Fun House, whereby food goes on a long, dark, scary ride, taking all kinds of unexpected twists and turns, being attacked by vicious secretions along the way, and not knowing until the last minute whether it will be turned into a useful body part or ejected into the Dark Hole by Mister Sphincter. We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count maybe 25 or 30 little scuzzball countries like Scotland that we could vaporize in seconds if we felt like it.
