   +-------------------------+ Configuring cacti +--------------------------+
   | Please select the web server for which Cacti should be automatically   |
   | configured.                                                            |
   |                                                                        |
   | Select "None" if you would like to configure the web server manually.  |
   |                                                                        |

   |                                 <Ok>                                   |
   |                                                                        |

 +---------------------------+ Configuring cacti +---------------------------+
 |                                                                           |
 | The cacti package must have a database installed and configured before    |
 | it can be used.  This can be optionally handled with dbconfig-common.     |
 |                                                                           |
 | If you are an advanced database administrator and know that you want to   |
 | perform this configuration manually, or if your database has already      |
 | been installed and configured, you should refuse this option.  Details    |
 | on what needs to be done should most likely be provided in                |
 | /usr/share/doc/cacti.                                                     |
 |                                                                           |
 | Otherwise, you should probably choose this option.                        |
 |                                                                           |
 | Configure database for cacti with dbconfig-common?                        |
 |                                                                           |
 |                    <Yes>                       <No>                       |
 |                                                                           |
