Suggestion for change in the order that setup does its tasks


Setup currently down loads all requested packages and then installs what has
downloaded.  IIRC, if several packages are downloaded at one time, and the
download is interrupted -- a real possibility with several large packages
over dial-up -- setup will start over, downloading from the beginning.  It
might be useful to change setup so that it installs each package immediately
after it is downloaded and before downloading any other packages.
