I have been using whiptail for a while since it is a nice console-based interface.



But when I installed Ubuntu Server, the installing screen looks like this:



New Ubuntu Server installing screen



If they stopped using whiptail, what program are they using now?



Thanks in advance.

          I was wondering the same thing and it looks like a new ncurses-based installer, developed by Canonical, called Subiquity.



          Here's a blog post I found about it.
