Fine. I just committed large changes in the text frontend, here is the changelog entry: * '\r' is not supported by all terminals, which made progress bars unreadable. The display is now: Progress bar title ..20%..40%..60%..80%..100% Closes: #195704 * Add support for backing up. Closes: #183107 * For most questions, prints the short description below the extended one. * String and passwd questions accept an empty answer. * A contextual help message is available at prompt. I would like to finish it tonight, my TODO currently contains: - When displaying select and multiselect questions, text height must be computed to not display more than a screen. - Replace fgets() calls by fgetc() so that Enter key does not have to be pressed. - Error templates must be highlighted (no idea how yet). If you have time, please test it and let me know if you find bugs or think about other enhancements. Denis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
