Nothing per se, it's just that sometimes I am patching the system in single-user mode remotely through a serial connection and it would be nice to see a progress indicator in that window. t |

I must say that I like the idea, it gives you a good overview how far the patching is. When you need to install patches on mutiple sun's this would be very handy! |
