My point rather was that there should be a bit more verbose output, so the user knows that the box isn't deadlocked or something.
Can we launch this in the background? Installation can proceed without sshd, and if you need remote access, well, you just have to wait.
Do you know if needs 29 minutes of CPU time, or does it just have to wait so long until all neccessary entropy has been gathered? Maybe there is still a but in entropy gathering somewhere.
