From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) (iii)Reorganize the dialogs so they at least attempt to salvage the install. This one is kinda subjective. But I've noticed that the installer hardly ever trys to correct and continue the installation, from what I've seen. If the installer encounters an error configuring a card or peripheral, then the user should get the option to skip that device and continue with the installation. I have encountered that problem with my NIC. It was an old 3com ISA, the installer understandably ran into issues, but would always abort. I should have been given the option to ignore the card either before the installer tried to configure it or when it encountered the error. Eventually, I ended up removing the card from the system before I installed. I understand the installer needs to simple. These changes would not affect the simplicity of the installer, in fact they would not affect the program flow of the installer at all until something goes wrong. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.? 2. 3. Expected Results: The installer should give the option to ignore NICs or other devices. Maybe with a "configure later" option.
Doing the 'expert' install will bypass hardware detection, so this feature already exists.
