When installing using the 12.04 beta1 CD the screensaver kicks in and blanks the screen before the installation completes on my reasonably fast system.
For a novice user having the screen suddenly go blank can be quite disconcerting - which may result in aborted or corrupted installations if they then panic and hit the power/reset button on their systems.
Screensaver should be disabled when doing install or at least stretched out to a time way past normal installation period (including allowance for slow Internet connections for downloading updates - you know, the connections developers DON'T use!).

Confirmed, we have code to avoid this but for some reason it doesn't work, I'm looking into it.
