I saw that. I read:

"To summarize:

- By default, install using a CD-only /etc/apt/sources.list
- After installation, add network sources to /etc/apt/sources.list and
test/update (if the user answered 'yes'?)

In fact, I think that if we get it just right, we can skip the question
entirely, and if the network test fails, silently leave the network sources
disabled and continue.

If the test succeeds, update-notifier will notify the user on their first 
login
that there are updates available, and they can download them in the background
while they explore the system."

I like that. Your suggestion is very elegant: you leave the trouble of what 
message put, leaving the download of apt-get after reboot, and postpose after 
first normal reboot in desktop.

I'm in agree with that. I think much users like it more than previous 
solution.

In what I'm not in agree totally is in put automatically in souces.list the 
net if the net detection is ok. Perhaps some users does not like that. I 
suggest you that:
1) in expert mode ubuntu ask it ("The network detection is ok. You have ADSL 
connection.... Would you like to add the network source for downloading 
software of you want to use only other media (CD by default)?").
2) In Update-manager tool, there were "Options" and in this section, the tab 
"Sources" in which you could elect the source of apt-get: network, CD-ROM, hd 
debs, ..., (both), ...

I don't know if in Update-manage there are the option to select the sources.

What do you think about it?

Thanks for worry about that and comment it in irc.
Thanks a lot.

Xan.
