Well it was completely different before - it was an option in the loader UI, with buttons and a full progress screen and stuff. Right now it's part of dracut with very minimal UI. > 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? Not right now, no, that's kind of the problem - it runs right from the boot menu with zero UI, it just runs and you wait. It doesn't even tell you it's running. You should be able to bail out of it with Esc, but apparently that doesn't work. If you catch and read the boot menu it's easy enough to skip - you just pick 'Install Fedora 18' instead of 'Verify media and install Fedora 18'. But you do have to spot it. > As long as it's easily turned off that's not a problem.
