hm. Not a nice solution but the only one that come to my mind. You can try 
something like this if you are installing via graphical environment:

cat > /tmp/my.ycp <<EOT
{
    string message = "Please wait...";
    UI::OpenDialog(
               \`VBox(
                     \`Label( message )
                    )
              );
    while( SCR::Read(.target.size, "/tmp/_done") < 0 ) {
        SCR::Execute(.target.bash, "sleep 1");
    }

    UI::CloseDialog();
}
EOT
