Re: APT configuration file

Following the thread on apt defaulting to install recommends, I would
like to turn this option off. A previous poster stated to add this
line to the "/etc/apt/apt.conf" file: APT::Install-Recommends "0"; . I
would love to do that but I am unable as yet to find a file named
/etc/apt/apt.conf.

Just create it with the line you want. No other contents are needed.

The man page for apt.conf(5) describes the syntax of the file and the
configuration parameters used by apt.
