The startup script of Xorg changes /etc/sysconfig/Xserver which is used to indicate the current Xserver, the one that exittc to uses to exit from.

Typically, I do not try to install Xorg from within any other Xserver, instead, I exit to prompt and use
ab Xorg

Early versions of exittc used a shotgun approach and tried successively Xvesa, Xfbdev, and finally Xorg. But such approach limits and is specific to the above collection.

However on larger downloads it would be nice to see a progress meter.

Perhaps not optimal, but if you have a terminal window open, you can see what's going on from the wget commands echoed.

Again wishlist, but some sort of indication of progress on apps audit (where there's no indication in a terminal window) and things might take a while would be good.

Edit: a bit hard to tell as my connection is so poor, but I would guess update/check for updates did not find anything in /tce/optional that needs updating, but there's no indication of this?

Thanks, it was my suspect as well but had no time to go into details. Just checked Xorg-7.4.info instructions and while not explicitely refers to "Exit to prompt' instructions are not very precise how to install and start using. It would be good to enhance a bit :)

I will do it with my WIKI article too.

When 'Install Local Extension' used '... alerady installed' status message highlighted with yellow background, while finished installation is white. It just reversed compared to installation from remote repository.

I find that the yellow final status is also interesting in the 'Install Local Extension' but with white starting, so after a download with 'connect to repository' is necessary a white refresh from the status message for the next apps load.
