[Bug 1325253] [NEW] net installer stops 25% through prompting for input

This is more of a nuisance than a bug, but when installing via the net
installer (I'm using Xubuntu's 14.04 "mini.iso") the install begins
before gathering basic info. Knowing that I'm on a limited bandwidth
connection, it is frustrating when I think that I've kicked it off and
come back hours later only find that the installer has paused for
intervention and will require another two hours to complete.

I would expect that it would complete the base install sans babysitting
rather than prompting me 25% of the way through to answer questions
about whether or not I want to perform automatic updates.

I understand that the installer needs to ask which packages are
necessary after phoning home, but it would be nice to provide that list
earlier or give the user a head's up that the install will require
further intervention.
