Here is a bug I found :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/294523
I'm not sure if it's appropriate to post "me too" comments asking for
it to be a wishlist to have the installer prompt to go online...

Keep in mind that prompting before going online would, with the
simplest solution, block the installation process and require user
intevention which is absolutely against how Ubiquity should behave.
Instead, there would need to be a checkbox in the final setup page to
"check online for security upd

This is getting out of proportion. Ubuntu should NOT ask if it is ok to
get updates. We are trying to run a "Linux for human beings" distro and
if we start taking steps in this direction, we might as well ask for
permission to connect when opening firefox. The last thing we need are

When Ubuntu first starts up, a GNOME notification pop up that you are
connected to the Internet, so you should assume that there's going to be
downloading involved.

If such a thing is implemented, it should be checked by default and
hidden in the Advanced settings dialog. Unexperienced users should get
security updates by default.

How can one assume that connecting to the internet implicitly means
*downloading involved* ? When one has an ins
