------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-19-09 17:12 ------- Yes and no. AT work sometimes I install mandrake on a computer but because of several things it's too slow form me and I don't have time to finish and I want to be able to quit cleanly. I know CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE is the trick, but for a newbie it should be more obvious. You may need to stop everything at the middle, or can change your mind ( a call/urgence, lack of time, hardware pb, ... ). This possibility should be abvious ( a bug red button with Abort/Quit as label ) Sometimes I want to install several OS on a PC ( windows followed by linux mandrake ). I could use my Partition Magic floppy, but the pb is that I don't pay them, so I no longer want to use them. Mandrake Installer have a so good partitionning tool that I'd rather use it for that, so I boot the CD, go until partition, partion, format, and then I want to quit. I can't understand why you don't see the point for that ( especially for my first reason ) ? Are you waiting for reviewers so that they complain about that ? With all ACPI pb with current kernel, If I notice the installation will take 3 hours ( see errata page, installation extremly slow ), I may want to quit cleanly and do the install again with ACPI disabled. Of course I can hit PowerOff, but a clean,easy to implement thing is more interesting -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: RESOLVED creation_date: description: Installer need an abort/cancel button. I.e hit CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE during install to stop install is not user friendly at all ! Sometimes an user just want to play with partitions or want to abort installation as it will take too longer so he need and obvious and easy way to quit cleanly the installation. This button should always be accessible ( left side under all the steps ) and with a special design/color scheme ( for example in red with the gnome/kde poweroff/logout icon ).
