Hi Nio,
Great!
I put the change in.
I do have a question, will it always be partition 4?
should I use ?? instead?
The only change I made to your code is to use
[[ -d ]]] rather than test -d

This is good timing, I was working on OBI.  I have a working 'System 
Update' portion of user-config now.
I also redirected the errors from dpkg ( the timezone and keyboard 
setup) so they no longer show in the window.
