Hi

I would like to apt-get with no blue screen of questions
(with debian etch, great linux)

Is it possible ?

how to skip all all all these blue questions to have default values ?

thanks

"blue screen" ...what? Well, if you meant it's asking you yes/no questions and would just want to answer yes (even if it would destroy your system), I'm sure apt has a switch for "auto-answer-yes" or something. Read
and see what the command line option is.

Are you talking about apt-get or aptitude? if you use just apt-get install <whatever> the terminal should stay the same color as it was before...

To use apt-get without any questions, use "apt-get -y"

Questions like that have no sane defaults so the question(s) need to be asked, in the instance of tvtime here you need to put in your tv standard to be able to get a signal from your tv card there is no way around it an incorrect default leads to broken program usage.

Exactly, people all over the world are using that program, so if it defaults to, say, NTSC, then everyone except US and Canada has to go and reconfigure it before they can use it. It's easier for everyone as a whole for it just to ask. Same goes for xserver-xorg, if you merge that in it will ask you a bunch of questions about your video hardware,etc. Not everyone uses, say, an ATI Radeon that's compatible with the "radeon" driver on a 17" LCD with correctly working EDD info, and a 104-key US keyboard with a 3 button scroll mouse. So those questions need to be asked. True, on some distros/package managers those questions don't get asked, the user is required to crack open config files to set the most basic settings before they can use the program. IMO, the debian way is much better.
