Hi William,

Ok, thanks for this feedback. It my monitor it doesn't seem squished at all. Can you give me some details about what you ran this on, in terms of monitor size, resolution, etc..? > * During the Installation screen, can we show the estimated time remaining? Well.. we can do this. What we show you now, that is the %done is more accurate from a progress point of view. We know how many pkgs we are installing, we know how many are done and we can calculate the %. The time per package is variable and depends on so many things. So, showing the estimated time is less accurate, IMO. Something to consider though. thanks, sarah
