Description Michael Stather 2006-01-28 17:31:20 UTC 
When I cancel the installation the console part of YaST (which comes up then) says "an error occured during installation" which is obviously wrong.
Also the best way would be to just reboot the machine when cancelling the installer, since it doesn´t make much sense to use any of the options from the menu.
Comment 1 Michael Gross 2006-01-30 15:01:22 UTC 
It's the default: When YaST exits abnormally or unexpected (this could also be due to a crash), it falls back to the linuxrc program where further actions can be taken. I don't think it would be advisable to just reboot the system, this would confuse the user even more. An abborted installation can also be seen as an error, as no actual installation (or only a partial one) took place.
The maintainer should decide.
Comment 2 Steffen Winterfeldt 2006-01-31 16:12:49 UTC 
yast doesn't tell the reason when it exits, so linuxrc does not know.
You can retry the installation at this point, so just rebooting is not equivalent.

I think we can live with that.
