Bug Description

This is more of a nuisance than a bug, but when installing via the net installer (I'm using Xubuntu's 14.04 "mini.iso") the install begins before gathering basic info. Knowing that I'm on a limited bandwidth connection, it is frustrating when I think that I've kicked it off and come back hours later only find that the installer has paused for intervention and will require another two hours to complete.

I would expect that it would complete the base install sans babysitting rather than prompting me 25% of the way through to answer questions about whether or not I want to perform automatic updates.

I understand that the installer needs to ask which packages are necessary after phoning home, but it would be nice to provide that list earlier or give the user a head's up that the install will require further intervention.
