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.

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.
