mkfs produces a text progress indicator which is converted by anaconda to a bar indicator ... The 4th install has been formatting a 1.2 G SCSI / for the last half hour -- I am nervous enough that I will not switch VC;s to see if it is hung .-- See 27106 for reason ..
Re-open for consideration of proposed RFE in RH 7.2
The progress bar works better in CVS.
