Defaulting new questions in scripts/Configure?

Defaulting new questions in scripts/Configure?

[Dale Amon]

I've just skimmed through the code in Configure to
see if there is a way to make it shut up and just
default everything new to NO so I can use it inside
a noninteractive script.

Did I miss it or is it something that isn't there
to be found?

I think I'd not be the only one to find it useful
to make it be seen and not heard during a 
make oldconfig :-)

Jonathan Morton suggested the yes is the answer
as well. I tested both out and diffed against one
done manually. no seems to just die, yes does just
the right thing.

Thanks much to all who replied.

Euhm, my fault.

yes n "" | make config should work.
