Not everyone has their scroll history set to a reasonable size (in fact the default is often quite small) so if a lot of ports where installed, it may not even be possible to scroll up enough to see them... So I don't think you can just assume this will always work.

I think the messages should probably be printed at the end, in one place. I don't particularly care either way if they are printed as well when the port in question is installed, but would tend toward yes, they should.
