Hi All
thanks for the help on this, I am slowly getting somewhere with this.
For now, and with the help, I am going to get the option menu working,
so this allows a single option to be selected from the menu and run,
then goes back to the menu for the user to choose the next option if needed.

Please don't abuse string variables to hold lists in bash. Bash has
array variables. Use an array to hold a list.

A program named dialog, or whiptail which is basically "dialog lite".
Both of these are in packages with the same name as the program.

You could try mounting it manually on the second virtual console when
the installation program asks for a second CD. Then switch back to the
installation program on the first console and resume with the
installation. This worked for me.
