Re: use preseeding for one package

Thank you Eric,

I am already using cfengine2 and puppet :). But when I want to install  
postfix or phpmyadmin with cfengine a dialog screen flashes by which  
looks a bit weird. That's why I want to use preseeding (or something  
else) so the installer doesn't ask questions when a package is  
installed automatically.
