I'm thinking of something like this: Scanning hardware..10%..20%..30%..40%..50%.. If the terminal uses line buffered output, this won't work; if it can display new parts of a line as they are written (and flushed), it might be better. It should also be reasonably usable with screen readers. Note that "Scanning hardware" is the constant title, not the progress bar text. -- see shy jo
