Thanks for the answers.
I have another "cosmetic" type question - during installation, is there any
way *not* to display the "Install time remaining". I have a script that
takes a while. While it's running the script, it says "Install time
remaining: 1 minute", but it actually takes alot longer than that...
Thanks,
Andrew

specify the width of the column, or make the entire screen wider, either
of those solutions would work.
No, there isn't.
Also, does anyone know a trick to have it display a specific size of the
install rather than having the installer determine the size
automatically. For example, if a user installs the program, then deletes
it, and then reinstalls later, it is still listed as an "upgrade" with
"size 0". Of course if I delete the receipt after installation it would
act as a fresh install next time, but I have previously been advised not
to use a script to delete receipts.
The size calculations use receipts to decide, in interests of speed.
Obviously, receipts often do not represent the actual state of the disk,
so, alas, this calculation can easily be wrong.
