It's often been said that it's hard to estimate how long to completion (though previous installers have done so, with reasonable accuracy), but I can see no argument against writing 12 out of 200 packages have been installed. Or showing a list of steps, that gradually get ticked off (downloading, partitioning, formatting, installing...). Or simply a scrolling log of what it's actually doing at the moment, on part of the screen, with something else permanently visible to give you a fighting chance of knowing how far along the routine it's gone. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.8-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 27 19:19:57 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
