No problem , I just wanted the bug to be clearer for David... :) , Sometimes when Papercuts team sees a bug it becomes tough to notice the usability issue... Since there has been a lot of response to papercuts , we sometimes change the descriptions to keep track...

--------------------------------------------
Description:
Currently, the installer stalls at 82% with no user-freindly instructions or feedback about the download progress.
This takes a considerable amount of time with slow connections and new users often wonder if the installation has stalled.

Present dialogue :

Configuring apt
  [ 82% ]
Scanning the mirror....

New users dont know what apt or mirror actually means!

Suggestion:
Explain the process better and allow users to skip the downloads.

Configuring update-manager
  [ 82% ]
Updating from network...

Downloading language packs (N Mb) ...
  [ 82% ]
Language packs are essential for better localization of the Ubuntu install.
