Multi thread/parallel install screens
Ubuntu gyus,
i was wondering how faster the install process wuold get if some time-consuming pages like "timezone" and "disk partitions" were loaded in parallel while the user is filling the basic information (name, login and password). Its a time that the computer is basically idle.
Also would be great to make the installer to download repository info and additional packages WHILE the files are getting copied to to HD. Because copying the files from the CD/DVD to hd is much slower (and limited by the cd speed and not by the hd) the whole downloading process, the user would even notice this step at all.
best regards,
massa
