Look at this Ignite-UX screenshot: http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90970/ch04s03.html#babcfiia For each system listed in the GUI, there is a little progress meter next to it. I remember once firing off 30 or so installs using Ignite-UX all at once. All I had to do was watch the little progress guage to see where all of the installs were at. Obviously we could do *much* better with the GUI. For example, it would be easy to make it possible to right-click on one of those icons and choose "Show install GUI" or something and have it pop up VNC connected to the system, if for some reason you wanted to see *exactly* what was happening.
