Actually that was my point exacty; that is I personaly see this as a bug in anaconda. But on the subject of actually stopping the install, you could always reboot the system yourself. Its just not as clean, because anaconda will basically get killed in that scenario, rather than gracefully going away. So back to my original point, this would be a fine patch to anaconda, and an even better bugzilla, and if I had the time to look into I would create such a patch and bugzilla report. Cheers...james P.S. don't forget the power of the update.img when patching anaconda. "Bodle, Donald E" <donald_bodle@reyrey.

I put an exit 1 at the end of the %pre section, and the install just pressed on. Time to start digging into the anaconda code, I guess.... If anyone already has done something like this, I'd appreciate the input. Donald E. Bodle, Jr. Sr. Systems Integration Engineer Platform Development The Reynolds and Reynolds Co.

There are certain conditions which I can test for in %pre that would cause me to want to terminate the install. I'd like to be able to terminate the install and eject the install CDROM, then reboot the system. Donald E.
