There was no real discussion at the time in saying wontfix. I still 
think that this is essential to nppo {not  iss people off}. If anybody 
really wants and has a need (anaconda developers?) to display such a 
check box, it would make sense to have a checkbox on the previous screen 
"wait after resolving package selections", which would be by default not 
ticked.

The only reason I can think of to not immediately go ahead after package 
selection is if the package resolution was not solvable -> then you 
would show a screen informing our user of the fact.

Is there anyone can give a good reason for requiring the user to wait 
2-5-10 minutes for package resolution to complete, and then actually ask 
the user if they want to "next" what they have already said they want to 
do, namely install fedora ??

{The final screen could be a more informative status of the install 
screen. eg a progress bar and checkbox list, with each step of the way 
being checked when complete, with a decent estimate of time min:sec 
until ready to use.}
