Product: Installation Component: Installation 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... -- 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.
