Lite Software - Suggestions welcomed

[anon222]

Example - You want to install Chrome and Skype. If you choose Yes to launch Chrome after it has finished installing, the Skype installer won't start. Do you think you could fix this? Cheers.

That's an easy fix. You will have to edit all of the install scripts and where there is a command to start the app just add &
This way the program will run in the background. [Edit] This way the shell will not wait for the command to finish.
Here is an example:

Code:

chromium-browser &

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# Main window dialogue.
INSTALLER_TITLE="Chromium Web Browser Installer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This will install the Chromium Web Browser.

When you click on Yes, this window will close and the install will begin.
The install time will vary based on your internet connection and computer.
Support is available from - http://www.chromium.org/Home

Once installed, Chromium is located in Menu, Internet.

Click on Yes to continue or No to cancel the installation."
