Took me a while to parse that :) You mean you want apt behaving in a "monochrome" way, i.e. foreground, background and that's it? Perhaps setting the TERM variable helps? Like, for example TERM=xterm-mono apt (make sure there is a xterm-mono, typically in /lib/terminfo/x, and that it is compatible with whatever terminal (emulator?) you are using) Cheers - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlmII/UACgkQBcgs9XrR2kbSYQCdF3PDX0p+C4x7V7sn8ebIoyH6 7y4Ani3szXcq2zYroxtgwSiyZZb3H1wU =H5d0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
