We're not going to add a checkbox to skip a "going to install" screen... in the future, we may revisit to remove the about to install screen altogether, but currently, it's going to stay I am reopening this for F7[1], please have a look at this. [1]: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-January/msg00808.html People generally want this checkbox so they can get package selections made and then walk away from the installation, then come back sometime later when it's done. However, the installation process is inherently interactive. The confirmation screen serves the useful purpose of giving you a place to stop and think about what you are doing - it's your last chance to stop anaconda from destroying your computer and blasting new stuff onto it. It also provides us a place to pop up various error messages (for instance, if you select more packages than you partitioned space for) that will also cause the install process to stop and request your interaction. If you are really looking for an automated installation method, we offer that in the form of kickstart. You can even make the automated installation stop at certain points to request your interaction. For instance, your kickstart file could include no packages section which would then force you to make package selections, but would continue uninterrupted after that step. We're not really interested in creating some sort of hybrid method between the two that allows you to jump over this step and that with various checkboxes, which is where implementing this feature invariably leads. |
