[to be fixed in rc2] pentoo installer progress window

[GoogleCodeExporter]

"you can watch the output in the progress (ctrl+alt+f8)"

That message is incorrect. Suggestions:
Press ctrl+alt+f12 to see the progress
ctrl+alt+f8 to return back

Actually, this is silly. We should run the output in the "screen".

So it would be easy just to run a second terminal and see the output using 
"screen -r".

Also, it would be better if we can show the progress bar.

progress2 feature will be in the next rsync version:

./rsync -a --info=progress2 /usr .

Concerning original entry; Pressing ctrl+alt+f8 worked see the progress
and then ctrl+alt+f7 to return back (not f8)*. 

I had to hunt around for that, would have been helpful if it was stated in the 
original info message (that mentioned ....f8 to see progress).

*RC1.9

most linux users are familiar enough to understand basic VT switching.  If I 
hold hands for things this simple then users will get used to it.  This isn't a 
basic linux class.

I've added that simple note. We can be more userfriendly on the installation 
phase, especially then it cost us nothing.
