From: Chantal Rosmuller on 3 Mar 2010 10:10 Hi list, can I use preseeding for installing one package unattended (not a whole debian installation)?

Hi Chantal, What are you trying to accomplish? Preseeding is used for installation. Are you trying to install one package to an already installed system? Do you want this to happen automatically? If that's the case, you may want to look into puppet, chef, bcfg2, or cfengine. (I recommend puppet myself).

From: chantal on 4 Mar 2010 10:00 Thank you Eric, I am already using cfengine2 and puppet :). But when I want to install postfix or phpmyadmin with cfengine a dialog screen flashes by which looks a bit weird. That's why I want to use preseeding (or something else) so the installer doesn't ask questions when a package is installed automatically.

Try: # dpkg-reconfigure debconf Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
