Hmm, don't we have any blog or at least announcement about that?
Shortly, when new installation is accepted, installation program tries to find images with system which is the most similar to the one you want. When images (KDE, GNOME, Base ...) are found, they are downloaded and extracted to the new system. After that missing packages are installed the common way. It speeds up the a new installation process a lot.
Question, please :-) Do the images reside in the DVD or have to be downloaded from the net? In the second case speed will be lost if connection is slow. If they have to be downloaded, perhaps an improvement would be to pre-download them to a partition or a local server and have them available to the istaller later. Another idea: instead of an install DVD, use a USB stick for install, to which the wanted images can be added on a second step; or the installer could download the image and store it on the stick for use by a second install. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
