131 | Open to suggestions of better ways to handle this, but hopefully this is at least a small step forward |

131 | Isn't there a "press enter to continue" command? 5 is a lot when you've had enough coffee/seen it before. |

131 | The bsddialog below is a "press enter to continue." The problem is that the error will already have disappeared due to screen clearing. This delay/message does not occur during regular operation so I don't think it is too much of an issue. The alternative would be just something like echo "Error fetching ...; press Enter" read dummy but our installer is already uglified by having random console spam and I'd rather not perpetuate that |

I wonder if the -q ends up hiding too much useful context for the error, but better to avoid the console spam in the happy case.
