Hello, I was wondering if bug/wishlist 294523 [1], about the installer (Ubuntu, Kubuntu possibly others) which "gets stuck at 82%" for long periods during installation thereby ruining the install experience, has been looked at by anyone for the Karmic release?
I had tried to mark it as a papercut candidate but apparently it didnt make the cut (was that a pun?). This issue has been discussed on mailing lists and forums [2] for at least a few releases already. Could it not be such that the operations done at 82% be moved to post-install or at first login? In my case, it ruins what would be a pleasant 5 minute install experience into a dull/boring 20-30 minute wait and I don't think the proposed slideshow will help. As a workaround I usually unplug my network cable and it doesn't complain, just progressing apparently normally. If it works without a network cable (I think we can assume many users dont have Internet access) why not postpone those 82% steps to later?
