Hi,
would be nice if there a Description with "Dialog" in bash,
because therewith it's possible for make a fully linux installer with
an "Graphical Installer" in Ascii form...
I self have less experiences and skills with Dialog,
but would a cool thing if this also supported in Bash scripting,
because it's looks "elitelike" giggle and it's easy cool to have
a possible for see how it works.. and an dialog guided install &/or configuration
process or something else it's easy more cool and less consumption of space
and also less of independence of many many more library's, because,
no need of gtk, no need of QT and so goes on..
and therewith it is possible for write Gui's in ASCII with processbars,
checkmarks and textfilds if connected over telnet and ssh can be there a Ascii Surface ...
I miss some Dialog dialogs really, because looks really cool and support the working,
installing and so on in Prompt and makes more interesting for the Peoples,
if they see, to be more as only bash-scripting, it's possible to make a bit more in prompt and is not need to have a "X-Server" ... also an Surface for an Server in Ascii ...
Do you know "Terminate" the Terminalemulator for connecting BBS's ?..
The good at dialog is, it works also in x so xdialog ..
I think at an loginwall for ssh (if this possible) and on user guidance
like at the times of BBS'es who was possible for connecting via modem or ISDN
and login as an User..and so on..
Programs, who be call via an ASCII Surface and so on..
or
it's possible for creating an config-dialog like nmtui,
an config dialog for other things.. .. an config-dialog like dnf,
but in dialog or other scripting possibilitys ..
or it's possible for create an graphical Surface in prompt without "dialog" bin ?
just to have for a graphical Surface in Prompt..
i can imagine me very good, a fully linux-server only guided via an ASCII Surface, no QT no GTK1,2,3,4 ..
just ascii and maybe with color supporting like in the BBS.. could be looks pretty cool !
and this over this over ssh-tunneling ... an login and then the ascii graphical Surface.. i bet, there gives biiig eyes ;)
it's would really nice to have a part/treatise on graphical Surface in Prompt and the possibility's of it to give the peoples the knowing about an graphical possibility's at hands for create graphical Surface over / in the command line / Prompt to bring some possibility's in the game again (before it is forgotten and rotten) ;) to have the Peoples the possible for read how it could works and functioning to create an GUI/surface in Prompt without an X-Server.
Maybe starting with an ASCII Graphical Surface "Hello Surface"
best regards
