Pretty boot screen and progress bar. Aha - now this I would
turn off, and I would hope the 'expert' install choice would
default it to off.
That's the plan. This work is going to benefit some embedded platforms as well, as we'll be adding an image loader to libsa and the appropriate hooks in wsdisplay; think of eg. a netbooting IPTV set-top box, where you can't get away with either spewing text or displaying nothing on screen until your application is up and running (which on a diskless device can be in the order of minutes). I'm sure there are plenty more examples where this would be handy.
