Bug Description
Currently the "Download updates while installing" option is unchecked by default.
If there is an Internet connection, it makes sense for the option to be checked by default. It's still present at all so that you can turn it off if you're installing while using an expensive connection.

This is not a critical thing for a release, its a convenience, and a potentially dangerous one at that. The implications need to be discussed with legal before it goes forward, due to redistribution implications of certain lisencses when combined with other licenses.
The user does need to explicitly select what they want to combine on their system.
