Not strictly related, but I've been thinking for a while now
that
most people do CD installs and watch the CD LED flash, then the HDD
LED. This alternating is a bottleneck which I guess can be reduced by
either or both of:
1. introduce extra threads to pre-cache the next files from install
media (may be a help over the network too) while current RPM is
installing
2. mount the ext3 target volumes ext2 while installing (this could
still apply in days of dir_index and ACLs)
Is Bugzilla the place for these ideas?
Yes. File it as RFE (request for enhancement). Only stuff that is in
Bugzilla will reach all developers, on the mailing list it could easily
be overseen.
