Be careful here, I have a situation where an ISO-based install (both DVD and USB stick) doesn't display anything on screen (It's a headless unit, I tried every serial configuration change I could find to no avail, finally pulled the hard drive and did the install on a laptop). The last thing we want is for an accidental "Enter" to do something destructive. From what I've read that wouldn't happen in this situation but I did want to raise the awareness of things which do happen "in the field".

I am a +1 on making this change and would also prefer longer than 5 seconds. 15 sounds like a nice compromise. BQ_END This discussion makes me wonder, how many people do ISO based Server installs and would be affected by this? Before things like MAAS came about, I very rarely did ISO based installs of server OSs, we always automated via preseeds or kickstart scripts and PXE booting. I'm not commenting for or against, and for the record, I too would say 15 seconds is a good compromise. I'm really just asking to satisfy my own curiosity.
