Take my protest.
All you need is to change a "1" into a "0" to enforce the wanted "shutup", and personally you should know that, and you should know why I chose this verbosity and probing level as the "delivery default".
During "new installs", especially with new users, some transparency about the CDROM situation is a must. I guess it is well-documented even for a newbie how to configure sbpcd for silence and efficiency.
