As you've said before, it's always been the default.  However in the past,
it was very simple to skip--which I always have because frankly, in RH it's
never been reliable.


I don't recollect running into it in recent Beta test installs--is it
something that is as easily skipped as it's always been?  If not, it should
be.  I suspect that I'm not the only one who considers it to generally be a
waste of time.  Maybe it does work correctly these days, but even so I
suspect that very few use it unless something goes wrong during install, at
which point they might use it the second time.  It's always been, IIRC,
somewhat time consuming.

As long as it's easily turned off that's not a problem. As it's not
something _I_ use, you can put put in a progress bar or not, but I won't
see it. :)  (Hrrm, the Archer episode, where he and Lana are going to
become human prey, comes to mind.  When the villain says to go, Archer
pushes Lana to the ground to get a head start--she shouts, "Archer, are you
really that self-centered?"  He shouts back, "Apparently.")



Self-centeredly yours,
