Sorry, I don't understand the question because there isn't enough detail. I'm 
not even sure which part of the system you're using. Which install.sh is this? 
"dialog and progress could not find" - is this exactly how the error message is 
written?

Cheers,
Paul

This is functionality we don't currently provide as far as I know, and there 
are lots of different ways you could implement it. If you need additional 
packages to support this behaviour you'll need to ensure they get installed 
into the initramfs; by default, that would be determined in the 
core-image-minimal-initramfs recipe - you can either modify that (for testing) 
or preferably copy it and then specify your alternative initramfs image recipe 
by setting INITRD_IMAGE to point to its name.

Cheers,
Paul
