I'll sing that in bold: I want the control and the information: One needs
access to the console output...simplest possibility woud be to dedicate a vt
for that (chvt x; do shell stuff; chvt 1) or more controlly, pipe output to
log file that one can tail -f on a different vt.

Of course: I wouldn't have done 4 installs in a few days (different machines,
of course;-) if I wouldn't like it overall.

I wouldn't want to change that. Of course I want to do all the stuff through
ssh... If you think that dialog-style menus are breaking this, well, It's not
primarily the shape of the interface but non-linearity (ability to go back
some questions), which I'm after.

Oh, I really hope that end users will work with it: I just installed a SMGL
for an end user (really no UNIX expert). He should use it, I do the
installation and configuration (that would be the better way with other
distros which _claim_ to be easy to administer, too, I think). He may even do
the system updates eventuall since...

...after the first cast my answers should be remembered. You're right here,
but when you do an install every day..
