This is a TINY thing, really. Small.

When doing a hard drive install, the message "This will take 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the hardware." is displayed. Realistic with a standard install, but an enhanced install using dialup takes much longer (~35 minutes average in my case). Next time some tweaking is done, maybe edit this message to warn that enhanced installs will take longer?

Did I not say this was a small issue?  :)

Don't know if it was just me, but the enhanced install didn't actually tell me it was downloading anything, or how much longer it was going to be downloading for.  Probably took 30mins via dial-up, but I had no clue (hey, what new there!) as to how long to wait before maybe guessing that the install had stuffed up somehow...
