umount is similar to mount. Unless you can manage it in the same way as 
'mc' does it :-?

cpio as root? Curious! Unless the files belong to him :-?

rm... 

echo as root?

yast - instead a request to the user to install something (I personally 
prefer that).


You have made quite a complex script :-)
