There weren't any blinking lights... After about 20 minutes I got a page

to choose the partitioning, did that, pressed ok, that window didn't

clear, but nothing was responsive. Waited 5 minutes and left it to check

again tomorrow.

It seems like progress bars are only eye candy these days. Because they

are in a loop and running smoothly all the time, and not indicating any

sort of percentage done, I'm left wondering if the system is doing

anything at all (besides updating the eye candy). Wouldn't some sort of

text output along with a timestamp be better, so I could step away and

come back and see if the state has changed at all? Especially on a

server? Don't system admins want output?
