Setup program suggestion


I was noticing at the long delay there is as the program does MD5
checksum checks in the beginning the program if you have an extremely
large number of packages for it to check.  I have a suggestion that
involves changing the order in which the steps are performed.  My
suggestion is to move the MD5 checksum check to after the package
selection then to have it do the checks on the packages selected to
install.  Obviously if it needed to download the packages then that
part may not even need to be touched since I assume it does it in a
similar order to that.  This will drastically reduce wait time when a
large number of packages are available.  When I say a large number I
am talking along the lines of maybe the entire archive.  Or even a big
chunk of it.
