Description Dave Hodgins 2013-08-13 02:01:25 CEST
When installing to the hd from a live iso, when it gets to the point of
running dracut, the installer dialog goes blank (gray).

On my system, it's fast enough I didn't think about it, but on irc,
Sebastian asked me if it meant it was time to reboot.

It should be displaying a message like the classical installer does,
which, iirc, is "Preparing initial startup program, please be patient".

> Is this enhancement request still valid Dave?

two years later, no reply, so closing as OLD

@ Dave
If this is still valid, then please reopen & reassign to the mageiatools maintainers.
