Ask questions before installing the dpkg-preconfigure command package using linux

This article will explain in detail the questions asked before using linux's dpkg-preconfigure command package to install. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

The dpkg-preconfigure command is used to ask questions before the package is installed in Debian linux. If the package does not need to be configured, no questions will be asked.

Run in apt mode:

[root@linuxcool ~] # dpkg-preconfigure-- this is the end of apt's asking questions before installing the dpkg-preconfigure command package using linux. I hope the above can be helpful to you and learn more. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
