Description Jan Tluka 2013-08-15 12:38:53 UTC
Description of problem:

The first screen of the installer provides option to quit installation ('q'). But when I enter 'q' the installation won't quit but instead the same screen is shown.

Starting installer, one moment...
anaconda 19.30.13-1 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 (pre-release) started.

VNC

Text mode provides a limited set of installation options. It does not allow you 
to specify your own partitioning layout or package selections. Would you like to
 use VNC mode instead?

 1) Start VNC

 2) Use text mode

  Please make your choice from above ['q' to quit | 'c' to continue |
  'r' to refresh]: q

That's a generic prompt with commands used throughout the text mode installer.  We can revisit changing up some of the wordings in 7.1.
