No. You have to allow something for a response to all questions, you don't have to answer them. Well chosen defaults can play a big part here. A "full screen" interface can also help (allowing you to rapidly skim over stuff you don't care much about). Note that it's probably reasonable to allow a non-answer to some questions (which is different from an empty answer). If that question is critical then the package would have to stay unconfigured, but sometimes a little research is necessary to determine the proper answer. -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
