[Casper] feature request

[NATHANIEL.LINDLEY at spps.org]

Some sort of warning or indication would be great for the laptops.  More
and more of our machines are wireless and moving around, on/off the
network, so pushing larger packages is tricker.  I suppose Caching and then
waiting to install after cached might help, but harder to keep track of.

Yes, a self service type option for users would be quite nice...

I have had similar need/want for this in terms of "Self Service" for
end-user installs of software. I want to be really careful with options.
There are some things I want to force to happen, or give the user a
reasonable threshold of time to do it before I force it on them. It would
be similar to options in SMS on the Windows side.

5000 laptops...I feel so tiny.

Would it be possible to get a progress bar and some sort of interactive
menu for the user to interact with for installs and reboots?  I have
several packages running that require a reboot.  I would love it if the
user could choose when to reboot and install software.  So they would
get a menu saying, "Hit OK to reboot and install software package X"

Then show a progress bar.  I have over 5000 laptops in my network and
users are constantly putting their laptop to sleep or never rebooting or
logging in and out.
