Title:
  Installer should have a "reboot when done" checkbox

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  One of the major features of an automated installer is the ability to
  choose all options up front, then press "Go" and let the installer do
  the rest. All the user interaction happens at once, with no waiting in
  between. The Ubuntu installer does quite well with this, except for
  one thing: if the user wants to reboot after the installation, they
  must wait until the installation process has completed, and then press
  the reboot button at the end. It should be possible to make this
  decision at the same time as all the other installation options at the
  beginning. There should be a check box during the installation
  process, under the progress bar, that says something like "Reboot when
  the installation has finished."

  If this is implemented, then there remains only one obstacle to a true
  set-and-forget installation in which the user could set the install
  options, press go, and come back half an hour later with the computer
  already booted into the newly installed Ubuntu (not still waiting in
  the Live CD). This is the need to press enter at the end of the reboot
  process. This is probably harder to solve, because this is a feature
  for people who need to eject their CD before rebooting due to BIOS
  boot order concerns. Perhaps checking the checkbox described above
  should reveal a second checkbox that would disable this end-of-reboot
  pause.
