User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
Your installer is nice and functional, but, what can i do while it is installing? Yeah, i can surf my new installation by chrooting in it, but it would be great if there was a small game somewhere i can play while installing. Can be even nongraphical. Or at least fortune. Would there be enough space for this little feature?

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2005-07-29 11:46:34 EDT

Games are unfortunately very controversial as to choice and end up being hard to
use due to the very high amount of IO that occurs during an install.

Comment 2 Johannes Buchner 2005-08-01 04:06:15 EDT

Well, could it be possible to at least add "fortune" to the installation
environment (sh on tty2)

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2005-08-02 11:28:14 EDT

We don't ship fortune, so can't pull it into the installer.
