Debian-installer is the console one am I right (that the alternate CD uses)? If so then I think it should be kept to necessary features required for installation, since it is used by many as a fallback so we don't want unneeded bugs popping up, and those that use it for its power/light weight would probably not want music playing.
If, however, this is for the desktop CD installer (Ubiquity isn't it?) then I think this would be a bad idea too, when the user can simply open up Totem, Rhythmbox, etc. (apps and codecs can still be installed even when in live mode) Interface-wise Ubiquity (when it is installing) is just a progress bar on the desktop, like a download manager, and adding music playing too it would be ridiculous. Those that don't want music would get annoyed, those that do would already have found something in Applications>Sound & Video. I know there is a spec for adding a slideshow type thing to Ubiquity here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubiquity-slideshow which could be accompanied by a little light background music, but that is because Ubiquity will be the focus of attention, rather than how it is now with a progress bar filling up whilst the user gets on with more important stuff than watching paint dry. -- Play music while installing https://launchpad.net/bugs/51016 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
