anaconda verbosity

[Nathanael D. Noblet]

Hello,

   So on Friday I used the netinstall to upgrade my baremetal F15 system 
to F17. Went well and I'm enjoying F17 so far. However I noticed that 
anaconda is um... too quiet?  When performing the usrmove there was 
nothing telling me that anything was going on. There was another stage 
that took *forever* where I couldn't tell what my computer was doing, 
very little HD activity, no UI etc. I ended up stracing anaconda and 
noticed it was downloading the rpm .hdr files. There were a few times 
(the upgrade took about 3 hours on my quad core i7 PC) where I was 
wondering if it was frozen. I'm wondering if anaconda could be slightly 
more verbose? Even just letting me know what it is doing as opposed to 
the vague "Initializing or Starting setup..." I can't remember the exact 
messages. Alternatively, sometimes the anaconda logs were useful (like 
in the case of usrmove). Perhaps at the bottom of the screen some more 
detailed messages for those that care could be 'hidden' and expanded 
with an arrow or something.

   Perhaps the level of detail is sufficient and I'm the only one who 
wants to know what is happening?

   Thoughts?
