I have observed the same as you. I suspect it only gets updated after each stage of installation is completed.On my last installation (TC4) anaconda's blue progress bar stalled at approximately 40% while thousands of packages were installed. I suspect this is "Working as Designed". There is a continuing display of package names as they are installed, as well as counts of installed packages and total number of packages to be installed, therefore a user is not likely to think the installation process is stuck just because there is no movement of the progress bar. The little slide show below the progress bar also continues. This does, however, give an impression the installer is a bit crude: during the longest part of the installation process, there is no movement of the progress bar. If someone does see better behavior of the anaconda progress indicator, please post to say it is my experience that is wacky. I think there should be a progress bar for each stage, updating according to the number of micro-stages/files/bytes/... (as appropriate) processed. From memory, as the last install I did was for F19, there should be 4 bars labelled appropriately. This way, not only would be people be aware of what stage the installation was at, but they would have an indication of the progress in the current stage, and what other stages were yet to be started. Obviously, if 2 or more stage could be done in parallel, then those progress bars would be updated concurrently. More importantly, the progress bar (if there is only to be one) should be finer grained than up dating after each major stage. Just my 2 pennies worth. Cheers, Gavin |
