Description of Problem: Sometimes, pressing the "Back" button in the installer will terminate the install process via shutdown and install. In particular this happens sometimes on the screens "Pick a bootloader" and "Configure network interface". How Reproducible: I don't have a 100% set of steps, but the following sequence usually does the trick. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pick suitable default settings up to the "installation type" screen. 2. Elect to do a "custom" class installation. 3. I used the manual disk druid partitioning option; not sure if it's relevant. 4. On the boot loader screen I selected "no boot loader". 5. The "eth0" config screen comes up. I unselect "dhcp" and "activate at boot". 6. I press "back". Often it reboots here. 7. If it fails to reproduce, go back again to the "installation type" screen, try picking something different (why not), and repeat. 8. I have seen it rebooting pressing "back" in the boot loader selection screen too. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
Brent please try to reproduce.

I've tried every way I know how to reproduce this with no luck. I can't see any way for this to happen. There's just no code path that leads from actions associated with the 'Back' button to calling 'shutdown'. Are you certain that the cd is good?
I believe CD is good. When I say it shuts down, what I mean is that the installer suddenly drops back to the text console and exits. It is likely that some vital part of the installer took a SIGSEGV - that would fit the observed behaviour. . I will try again when RC1 arrives, and if it still occurs, I will try and get a reliable test case.
Please let us know if you have problems with RC1.
Chris, any progress here?
