[14:20] <scarface> Hi all, during the install of 10.10, it says that an internet connection is needed, although the install seems to work fine even if there's no net connection.  Is there a web page or some info that explains what the internet connection is needed for and why I would want to be connected?
[15:16] <cjwatson> some packages such as language support packages aren't necessarily on the CD but are installed from the network if it's available
[15:16] <cjwatson> also the installer attempts to detect your location from the network, although of course you can set that by hand
[15:18] <scarface> cjwatson, Thanks.  Does the installer also try to download the latest package updates during the install?
[15:20] <cjwatson> download, but not install
[15:20] <cjwatson> they're just cached for the first upgrade you do
[15:21] <cjwatson> (this strategy also means that we can break off the download at any point and it doesn't matter, so you don't have to wait for a slow install run in order to start using the system)
[15:22] <cjwatson> I think that got implemented in 10.10, at least
[15:24] <scarface> Ah, that's smart.  I had been concerned that the results of an install would vary based on when you did the install, i.e. a system installed at one time would be different than one installed at a later time.  I like that this technique allows you to see and approve all the updates before they are applied.
[15:29] <cjwatson> it's possible that you'd find language packs a bit different over time, although in general those differences should be minor
[15:30] <cjwatson> for the most part it's as you say, fairly deliberately
