Description Telsa Gwynne 2000-06-13 17:35:19 UTC
Trivial, I know. But when faced with a two-CD install, and a banner
saying
Packages	Size		Time Remaining

..it would be nice if the final field made it clearer whether that
was the whole thing (which I think it must be) or to the end of the
first CD. When it's going to take 20 minutes, it's not so bad, but
if it's going to take an hour or two, it's nice to know whether 
that is an hour until the next CD or an hour for the lot. This could
be the difference between a cup of coffee and a bottle of beer in
waiting time! (And on slower machines, whether to stay up, or go
to bed and finish in morning.)
