creating an auto install script
 
guys, I'm trying to create an auto install script, which I'm passing a list of programs to be installed or just one program, and it doesn't prompt me for yes/no.

so, I'm thinking something like

Code:
while read line; do
 apt-get install $line << INSTALL
 Y
 INSTALL
done < packages.list
but somehow, it's not working

You might want to have a look at apt-get's manpage, especially the --assume-yes option.
Anyways, be warned that this can be inherently dangerous, for example when installing a package that conflicts with an already installed package ends up with removing that package and due to the meta-package problem half of your system.
