Just some observations on first time install of 18.10

Not bugs, but some observations on the new installer of Ubuntu 18.10 Server

Using .iso in a VirtualBox VM on a Mac

Not sure of the etiquette of attaching screen shots, but have them if needed.

1. Getting to step 7 of 11 in the install, screen showing choice of snaps, I noticed the install was continuing in the progress bar at bottom of screen, cool. However, as I was looking for things like Apache, Puppet etc. The install completed, so when I pressed done it took me directly to the 11 of 11 screen, the Install Complete! screen and I am not sure what I missed on screens 8, 9, and 10 (maybe choosing install of Apache which is not snapped yet?)


2. On screen 11 of 11 there were two "Reboot Now" options in the choice of three, the other being "View Full Log".


3. After rebooting I was presented with the Login prompt after all the usual startup.  However, before I could enter my details there seemed to be a lot (nearly two screenfuls) of additional output from services starting, stopping and restarting, ssh keygen stuff etc. which meant the login prompt scrolled off and was hidden/gobbled up.  As this was ssh keys etc. I assume this was a once only effect, but it might need a bit more tidy up in the startup dependency area before the bash login prompt is displayed.

As I said not bugs, just observations.
