>Description:
The longest part of sysinst is extracting sets.

The part requiring the most user input (setting passwords,
creating accounts, configuring network, etc) happens _after_
installing sets.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install and configure NetBSD.
>Fix:
Ideally, all the user input should happen before the longest
part of installation so that admins can configure the system
then walk away and wait.
