I've gotten clarification of the third-party software installation process form http://askubuntu.com, question found here http://askubuntu.com/questions/22285/clarification-of-the-third-party- software-options-during-system-installation
In summary: 1) It installs ubuntu-restricted-addons much later on in the main install process. This currently includes gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, flashplugin-installer (Adobe Flash support), gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, icedtea6-plugin (Java and the browser plugin for it), and gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 (MP3 playback support). 2) It asks the Additional Drivers (jockey) program to enable any drivers that can be automatically installed. Currently this is limited to just the Broadcom wireless (binary) driver. I'll rewrite the dialogue based on these two points. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694328 Title: Third-party software option during installation is unfortunately worded -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
