Having just gotten back into working with LFS on my new (refurb) dual-core 
Turion lappy, I thought I'd really like the progress bar, until it hit 
100%, wrapped around & started over. That's when I figured out (correct me 
if I'm wrong) that it doesn't show the status of the package being built, 
it's just a graphical second count-off timer... am I right?

That being the case, I like having the time roll to show how long it's been 
working on a particular package, but if the progress bar doesn't show the 
actual progress of the package, it's just fluff to me.

Just IMHO from the village idiot... ;-)

Laterz,
