I recently install Fedora Core 6 on my desktop (Watson) I had intended
to write up a review style report...but I got distracted and just
enjoyed the whole installation process (I may have ADHD). So seeing as
there only six (6) issues in my notes. I'll release them on to the
list - a thread per issue. I apologize if anyone sees this as spam.

[FC6, Install Issues] Stop disk checker mid-way

Since DVDs images are so widely available , and preferable to those
who can, and rather not swap out CDs, it would be nice if it was
possible to halt the disk checker (part of the pre-install routines).

When I went for my first install attempt I hit check disk since I
hadn't yet checked the disk. But I had to abort my first attempt. On
the second attempt, I hit check this accidentally. There seemed to
have been no obvious way to cancel the test and move on with the
installation.

With a CD, that's okay I suppose. But scanning the 3+ GB disk takes some time.

Peace.
