From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: Please give anaconda the ability to restart an installation from any point. It should save the user's selections so that they do not need to be made all over again. The user can then either elect to jump to any given installation window, or replay the previous selections which should be displayed on the installation screens, and the user should be permited to change them or just click the NEXt button. This way if an installation attempt aborts during formatting of the hard drive, for example, the user can jump to any given screen and make quick changes rather than do the whole install again from scratch. Besides the convenience, this should save you a lot of money on telephone support costs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:
Thanks for the request - I understand it can be frustrating to have an installation abort. However, this is complicated to implement and test and has does not appear to be a common problem. We have other areas we feel we can improve that will have a greater overall impact on user experience.
