Hello, I want to automate the installation of Drupal on Ubuntu bypassing the db prompts that come up.

Eg:
On a fresh Ubuntu Server installation:
sudo apt-get install drupal6

When running any of the above commands, I am prompted for db passwords and some "Yes"/"No" options. I want to automate this installation without any prompts. Can I pass in parameters or use a config file?

Any tips much appreciated. I'd like to use standard packages without using my own custom installation script.

There are no standard packages which do that.

You will need either to write your own script or to nag the maintainer of that package in Ubuntu.

I don't think there are many people who even use that package among the Ubuntu users here.

Thanks-that does seem to be the case.
