it has been replaced with "echo -e 'ynY\n'" which is then piped at apt-get.
So I still thing the dev is not really getting the idea. There are other 
things like using repos, overwriting config files, okay they are copied 
to one side but that it not the point really, if it fails it is going to 
do lots of nasty stuff there is no fail state that leads to sweetness. 
It is crash, bang, wollop then you get up and dust yourself down, and 
check if anything is broken if your lucky.

There are other issues and have taken enough of your time.
I do check it on and off, my mail eariler today was based on last weeks 
download, this one on the one I made since eariler.

He may get there and that would be fantastic, but my disappointment 
remains at this time.

Regards,

Paul
