Just an example of how I'd like it to work, still very much a work in progress.

SOURCE=ftp usb disc this is not valid bash syntax. remember that profiles (config files) just get sourced and must be valid bash.
Thanks for the feedback. My idea here is to let aif know that I want to install via "ftp" first and if that won't work then fallback to "usb" then "disc". There could be many possibilities here as Arch and Pacman works with more technologies. What would be the best way - quotes or parentheses?
worker_intro () { infofy "Automatic procedure running the generic-install-on-sda example config. THIS WILL ERASE AND OVERWRITE YOUR /DEV/SDA. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS PRESS CTRL+C WITHIN 10 SECONDS" countdown=10 like this countdown=10 is passed as argument to infofy. probably not what you want. while [ $countdown -gt 0 ]; do echo $countdown... countdown=$((countdown-1)) sleep 1 done
My idea here was to have the message with a visual countdown, the real version would be a function and the time would be an argument and maybe a "cancel" button.
