Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
The process of making a USB startup disk involves writing a known amount of data to a device at near-constant speeds. Therefore it should be feasible to present a reasonable estimate, in the progress window, of how long the process will take to finish, e.g. "Time remaining: about 7 minutes".
This could replace the current percentage complete text (which is pretty much redundant with the progress bar).

the above bzr branch has the beginnings of a remaining time estimator. It is not entirely complete: I only hooked it up to one place where I/O happens, and it needs to be hooked to every place.
