We have discussed this. I'm comfortable with the silent run, notification, and DDU display of the device/driver list. After that we are in the DDU GUI. I don't anticipate using a wizard here because, other than the DDU's provided "install all missing drivers available at pkg.opensolaris.org", users will have to actively locate and "bring to the computer" the missing drivers in some form (download, media, pathname, other repos). Given this it seems reasonable to provide the user with a couple of buttons e.g. "auto-install-all-available" and "install from...". I think the latter is what is referred to as the "loop through a menu."
