Hi Israel. I will reply to your recent mails separately.
It seems that you are determined to release ToriOS with a zenity version of the OBI-installer. Be prepared to do *a lot* of debugging before it will be as reliable as the dialog version. 1. I think you should have real progress indication during the expansion of the tarball, so I will show how I converted the progress indication in mkusb: I added the option -n to pv and used its output in zenity. I also modified this output to wait for syncing (flushing the buffers). This is done in the function 'do_n_show' (in the mkusb shell-script file). You are welcome to borrow that function :-) 2. I also have a crude stepwise indication when making persistent live drives. It is integrated in the function 'grub_n_iso' # general grub_n_iso progress window ( tail -f "$tailfile" |zenity --progress --title="$version - preparing persistent live drive ..." \ --percentage=0 --auto-close --no-cancel \ --window-icon="/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/mkusb.png" 2>> "/dev/null") & pid=$! echo "# Start grub_n_iso" > "$tailfile" ... echo "05 # Checking help files" >> "$tailfile" ... echo "10 # unmount, swapoff and wipe GPT traces and the first megabyte" >> "$tailfile" ... I think this might be better than the short-lived zenity windows that you use now to indicate the progress. But you should clean up afterwards. I do that with the function 'clear_grn' in mkusb. This crude stepwise indication is less important. Maybe you can even skip those short-lived zenity windows that you use now to indicate the progress. I think they only irritate the user. Write that information to the log file instead. Keep only the windows, where the user should make a decision (for example 'install a pae kernel or not').
