Still the best...

Most specifically here is that Caldera does the basics, install/package
selection, STARTS INSTALLING, then lets you do everything else
immediately. Nowhere do you need in insert disk5, or enter information
AFTER everything is installed. This is a wonderful thing. I watched a
movie with my wife last night while installing COLW311. I added some
memory to the box, stuck in the CD and got the install started (of course,
this box required a install diskette, but that's not Caldera's fault). I
got to watch the movie with my wife after that and didn't have to touch
the box again until it was finished with PostInstall and I shut her down.
Had I not chosen to remove unnecessary packages at install, the whole
process would have taken about 5-10 minutes of MY time. The rest of the
install time is only dependant upon the speed of the hardware. That is
nice (although I did get in trouble for playing a game of solitaire at the
end. Have you ever noticed that it's the same deal every install? It's
like Caldera stacked the deck to make you always win easily :)
