I have a bash script with the following in it:

        DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
        apt-get install $install

From what I've read, this should set the front end for debconf to 
non-interactive and should go on ahead with the install I've set up with a list 
of packages to install.  Everything else in the script works, but as much as 
I've played with this (like changing DEBIAN_FRONTEND to DEBCONF_FRONTEND), I 
can't get it to work.  I saw one example (from this list, 2-3 years ago) that 
put it all on one line, but that didn't work either.

Do I have to set the environment variable before running the script?  What do I 
need to do to be able to install packages?  (There's only one question asked in 
all these packages and it's a config issue I handle separately anyway.)


Thanks for any help with this!
