Well, Jerry, why not make that proposal for the Software Center in Launchpad when you got a free moment. I'm sure a lot of people would like to see details of the install for troubleshooting or just to educate themselves about what goes on when a program installs in Linux.

During Install copy progress bar has a > that can be clicked, expanding to show a few lines of output like update-manager does It would be really nice/ necessary if Software Center did as well, maybe under Progress tab?
