I have used preupgrade multiple times on multiple boxes.
Then perhaps you can answer my question -
roughly how long is the longest pause you experience?
Also, if there are any pauses, where do they occur?
I also just
installed a bunch of other software that involves long downloads and
installs.
I would compare preupgrade with other ways of installing Fedora.
I don't experience any long pauses with any other of the several methods
I have used (PXEboot, USBstick, hard disk install, etc).
All seem to keep me quite well informed about what is going on.
Is there some reason why preupgrade should be different?
