Comment:

 Hi,

 just some notes on how to throw up a custom "please wait" message as part
 of the script while `sleep` runs. (Zero feedback leads to the user double
 clicking the icon again and again, then after the disc finally spins up 4
 browsers open at once)

 Currently xmessage is the only one of these programs already installed on
 the live-image.

 {{{
 MSG="Waiting 10 seconds for service to start before launching web browser
 ..."

 # xmessage (x11-utils pkg)
 echo "$MSG" | xmessage -timeout 10 -file - &

 # kdialog (kdebase-bin package)
 kdialog --msgbox "$MSG" &

 # gtkdialog (gtkdialog pkg)
 ...

 # gmessage (gmessage pkg)
 ...
 }}}
