Glad you mentioned this. I've had a plan to write about this as well for a long time. The proper forum for the Red Hat install would probably be the anaconda-list however. But I see these kind of inaccurate guesses in other places as well. Making an estimate for a progressbar or 'total-time', is a very common thing to do for a program(mer), so I wonder if there is a generic library available somewhere where these type of things are handled in a more scientific manner.
