Hiho, once upon a time there was a fai-progress implementation that we did for the city of munich - just in order to hide the linux / FAI messages from the users, sitting right in front of their screens wondering what's going on.
Since it was a quickie done in C, I proposed a rewrite done with perl. It now uses cdebconf (well known from the debian installer) and enables a NEWT or GTK based installation progress bar. Since it's open source and it may be usable for more than just us - its here: # svn export https://oss.gonicus.de/repositories/goto/branches/goto2/fai-progress # cd fai-progress && dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot Since there's no real integration possibility for that right now, I'm using the confdir hook as a workaround. More integration info and a sample hook sniplet is in the manpage. Feedback is welcome. Cheers, Cajus
