... In this day and age of larger drives everywhere from the data center to the home user, wouldn't it be a good idea if we had some kind of message between 1st phase and 2nd phase where it says something like "Depending on the size of your hard drive, this may take a while." before going into the second phase of installation?
In my opinion, the startup screen is fine unless there is some fsck.ext3 call (usually every 60 days or so? or in case of wrong shutdown/power failure...). Your proposal "Depending on the size of your hard drive, this may take a while." is technically correct but it doesn't provide the information user needs not to panic. My proposal is to detect that there is some fsck run (or another delay in starting the system (more than ... hmm ... 20 seconds?)) and either switch the splash off or provide some progress right in the splash.
