Bug Description

During the 2nd stage of installation (after the first boot) dapper says is it is "Downloading xxx file of nnn". While this is a little pedantic, to me "downloading" always means transferring files down from the network. So when I saw this on the screen I was wondering why it wasn't using the .debs on the CD. Of course it was, it was just the term being used on the display.

I think that the term "Transferring" should be used.

Me too :)

Also (probably a related bug), IIRC the message "0s remaining" was continuously displayed during the "download" phase.

Interesting that this bug still says rejected. It looks like (at least in Dapper daily 20063029.2 that the text has been changed to "retrieving" which is a much better term.

Thank you
