Description R P Herrold 2001-02-04 00:31:53 UTC

In starting using the "linux dd" option, during the install process,
anaconda un-necessarily immediately asks "Do you have a driver disk?"

A flag, once set, should not need to be re-asked, particularly that soon --
perhaps the getopts part of the code needs review.

---------------

Obviously this is not disabling ... just a 'nit'

I believe this is to allow the user to bail out in case they mistakenly used the
dd option.

Comment 2 Erik Troan 2001-02-06 21:50:38 UTC

That's exactly why it's there, otherwise the install would be stuck and force a
reboot.
