I tested it just now on a laptop with power specs and it does take
time even with good resources. While the integrity check is actually
included, you will have to dig into it by pausing the installation
process and select it. I haven't checked the setup/installer document
if this was included, but I think its best that we indicate it
probably in the relase notes.
