What is going on under the covers while the progress bar for 'Starting 
install process.  This may take several minutes'?


On my Asus ee 701 it has been going for over an hour and only 3/4 done

is this an upgrade?  if so, walk away, don't watch because it takes a
very long time to upgrade.

I am doing an install.  There was nothing of value, well, about 100Mb of 
files that I copied to USB and I want what a clean FC11 would be.


But I did walk away.  I just happened to glance over at it from this 
laptop's screen and saw where it was.  Now it is doing the 1000+ package 
install, and that I know will take a couple hours.


Just what was the setup startup?  The partitions where already formatted.
