That's part of the rpm, the %post scriptlet is calling xs-setup

That time to restart NM seems excessive, but we need to cover that
situation. What would you time is a safe amount of time to wait before
bailing out of the install? I'm thinking 2 minutes.

I have some revisions related to that in the testing repo, could you
start the next install with the testing repo enabled:
