Comment 3 for bug 558593

I've taken a video to show how the experience looks on a slow box.

The first 7:49 or so are all OEM config time where it's spinning and doing stuff. At 7:49, X closes, a black screen comes up, there's a whole bunch of errors (probably plymouth?), and then a generating locales and then it just sits there. Looks like it's doing nothing. It spends about 1 minute at this screen.

It would be far better to either:
1) Throw up plymouth during this time
2) Pop up a dialog in X indicating it's cleaning up and do it in the background while X is active (but oem-config itself is finished)
