I saw this too (but not for that long). Going into a shell I saw that
anaconda was only taking ~2%CPU and that my load averages were low and
that no significant data was coming in over the network, so I'm not sure
what is happening over this time.
It might be worth filing a bug about this since it doesn't seem right
that the computer sits in an idle state for so long at the end of the
install. I suspect that it should be a lot quicker than this and that
on some systems something takes ages to time out.
