Or a something like "watch df", counting the used space. no need for annoying <blink> but killing the full progress dialog and replacing with a simple pleaseWaitBox with: "Installing base system, please wait..." would suffice. the full progress dialog should also go away when extracting the base, since extracting packages is not determinitive either. there really isn't any way to create a progress dialog for that stage since dpkg is not determinative. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
