Copying and installing isnt the same  and even if it was split into 2
bars, one for copying and one for install, its still a problem that
any controlling program like this hasnt got a clue how long an install
will take... Some modules are big and go fast, others are big and go
slow... Small modules can also take much longer then others so all one
really should be able to show is number of packages  or percentage
installed and how many to go... % DONE/Complete is unpredicatble...



Best regards,
