Hi,

The man help says, silentoldconfig is like oldconfig, but quietly and additionally updates dependencies.

1. What does it mean by "quietly"?

Basically, it will auto-select the "default" answer to any question (it's the one that's capitalized - so if it says n/Y/? Yes is the default) As such, it's basically 'oldconfig, if somebody held the Enter key down'.
