Re: [orca-list] too much speech or not enough

["David E. Price" <deprice cs utah edu>]

Hi,

If you are in a terminal window, type apt-get at the prompt.  You will 
receive a help screen which lists the switches (or options) that can be used 
on the command line. Looking through this list, you will find "-qq", which 
will suppress all output except error messages.So, you could type the 
following:

$ sudo apt-get -qq update

However, I'm not sure if this will get you what you want, since it will give 
you very little,if any, feedback. If you want more information on apt-get, 
try typing "man apt-get" at the prompt and take a look through the man 
pages.

Hope this helps,

dave
