Public bug reported:
Currently in the "Preparing to Install Ubuntu" section there is a check-
box you can check which reads "Install third-party software for graphics
and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3 and other media".
I think that you should be able to expand that, or that there should be
some sort of button allowing you to access more advanced options which
display to you exactly what third-party pieces of software will be
installed, and allow you to also change which ones. For instance if
there is a list of all the software that will be installed in addition
when you check the third-party software option, all the packages there
will be ticked, but you will be able to untick any that you like, though
if one depends on another, unticking a dependency of another package
which grey out that package and a hover over tooltip or something
similar will reveal to you that it requires a package you have unticked
as a dependency, it will also specify the package(s).
This would be useful to me to know what extra stuff is being installed,
and also because for instance it installs Flash and for security reasons
I don't want Flash, but I do want all the other stuff, so it would be
nice if I could customize the list of the additional third-party
software to be installed a little bit more.
