Description Frediano Ziglio 2003-12-15 06:25:59 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5)
Gecko/20030925

Description of problem:
For every package anaconda does these steps
- read package
- install it
On slower systems (with slow cdrom or netrwork installs) this reduce
install speed. It would be glad if anaconda can do a sort of
read-ahead or package (read package during install of previos
package). This would reduce install time. This option should be
enabled if system has big memory or if hard-disks if big (to fit
installation and read-ahead packages)
