Switching the steps is one possible solution to the problem, but not the only one.
The problem, to restate, is that "Download updates while installing" is insensitive when you don't have an Internet connection, even if you might have been able to set up a wi-fi connection in the next step. Switching the steps would solve *that* problem, but it would introduce an equal and opposite problem: if you have proprietary-only wi-fi (e.g. Broadcom), you can't set up a wi-fi connection unless and until you have chosen to install the proprietary wireless driver, but that option would now be *after* the wi-fi connection details. An alternative solution would be to move the "Download updates while installing" option somewhere after the "Connect to the Internet" step, while leaving the option for installing proprietary drivers before "Connect to the Internet". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955232 Title: Switch 'prepare' and 'wifi' steps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/955232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
