I have been installing Fedora Core 6 on a few machines and I would like to

I should have been more involved with 6 and then maybe it would have been
better.
So I am trying to get involved with 7 in the hopes that it will happen.
I think my biggest complaint about the 6 install is the time it takes to do
the package dependency check and that you have to click okay to start the
install.
I would like to see maybe a check box to fix this.
That says: continue with install if everything it okay.
So you could check the box and walk away.

There was no real discussion at the time in saying wontfix. I still
think that this is essential to nppo {not iss people off}. If anybody
really wants and has a need (anaconda developers?) to display such a
check box, it would make sense to have a checkbox on the previous screen
"wait after resolving package selections", which would be by default not
ticked.
The only reason I can think of to not immediately go ahead after package
selection is if the package resolution was not solvable -> then you
would show a screen informing our user of the fact.
Is there anyone can give a good reason for requiring the user to wait
2-5-10 minutes for package resolution to complete, and then actually ask
the user if they want to "next" what they have already said they want to
do, namely install fedora ??
{The final screen could be a more informative status of the install
screen. eg a progress bar and checkbox list, with each step of the way
being checked when complete, with a decent estimate of time min:sec
until ready to use.}
