Why in back ground. APT system run by dselect asks question unless you set "debconf" to assume yes to all etc. This is dangerous. You may change the level of question by using: # dpkg-reconfigure --priority=medium debconf for example. You have vertual terminals so you run dselect on one screen and move on in another screen. If you are on remote terminal such as VT-100 emulators (putty on window for ssh), you can use program like screen to have multi-screen. Check it out by "apt-get install screen" :) -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick/ +
