Try a CVS snapshot of setup. I've used it to do unattended installs using a local package dir. It still displays the progress dialog for the install, but (IIRC) otherwise doesn't interact with the desktop or require user input. -Samrobb > -Original Message- > From: philippe guillaume [m

Chris et. al., I'm sure you already have something like this in mind. Could you give those on the mailing list a heads up a few days before all the 1.5.0 packages migrate from 'test' into 'current'? I'd appreciate the chance to snag a snapshot of the last, latest and greatest 1.3.22 packages

mkpasswd usage in passwd-grp.sh
