Hi Calum, Certainly a reasonable suggestion. My primary concern was that the installer exit back to a short "task menu" similar to what is used on the legacy text installer - the task menu is used to start the installer, run an ITU-like function, or enter the shell. I talked with the developers and they feel that it is possible to enable the user to review the log directly from the "failed" screen and then return to the this task menu so we will work to implement your suggestion.
