The ones that would really annoy me made their way up to 100%, and stayed there for ages, when they hadn't reached 100%, but were at 99.9999. Obviously, you can't make a progress report for an unknown quantity, but is the upgrade process an unknown quantity? Does it start up, fetch information, then know it's going to download X bytes, or X files? Can it show that you've fetched X out of Y. Likewise with the next step of installing them (X packages installed out of a queue of Y, and the amount of a particular package being installed, one by one). If the ordinary install from local files routine can show a progress indicator, why can't the pre-upgrade? -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
