>Description:
If you start a 'Novice' installation, and then for some reason quit, if
you try and re-run the 'Novice' installation it lets to define the boot
partitions, and the boot manager, but then promptly returns back to the
main menu (no labeling, no distributions, no media...). This is
extremely disconcerting to a novice user who frequently makes mistakes
during installation/configuration.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create a 2.2.5 installation disk.
Boot from it.
Do a 'Novice installation'
At the Distribution menu hit Cancel
Do a 'Novice installation' again
You don't get any further that the 'disk partioning' part of the process
