Title:
  Ubuntu installation seems to get stalled due to background
  installation of additional drivers

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When installing Ubuntu on an Intel machine with an NVIDIA graphics
  card, ubiquity seems stalled just after clicking "continue" in step
  "Preparing to install Ubuntu".

  Logging into VT1 I see that apt-get is running and installing
  additional drivers, namely Intel Microcode and NVIDIA's.

  Moreover, I think that in this step additional stuff is run, not only
  additional drivers installation, but this takes the most time.

  On an Atom machine this can take up to 5 min which is unacceptable
  without some notice. The common user will think the installation is
  doomed and give up.
