Summary: 9.2 RC1: cannot safely abort installation
Product: Installation
Version: 1.805
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Two changes introduced in 9.2 installer make it impossible to safely abort
installation when something fails or the user simply hanges his mind:
1) in 9.2 installer it's not possible to navigate between installation stages by
clicking left sidebar items anymore. So it's impossible to click "Exit install"
and terminate anymore.
2) for more conscious users, BusyBox on seconde virtual console could be used.
But the commands "shutdown", "reboot", "halt" aren't available. Calling "init
6" doesn't work also, it gives a strange/amusing error:
"*** TESTING MODE *** (pid is 190)
Welcome to Mandrake Linux
E: could not set new controlling tty
Moltes! MOLTES!
Running install...
error in exec stage1 :-(
install succeeded"
And nothing happens, busybox continues running...
