Ability to cancel the system installation #491

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

When the system installation has started, there is no button to cancel it, even if you press Ctrl+C in the log shell

(Tested on 0.8.2_0H331)

When the system installation has started, there is intentionally no button to cancel. For the same reason, there are no window controls. Interrupting an installation after it has started would result in an unbootable system, and hence we don't allow to interrupt the installation while it is running.

But if the user cancels the installation, you could just stop writing the files to the selected disk, delete the EFI boot entry and clear the files the installer has already written (or maybe even clear the whole partition). The user would still have the installation media on their USB drive
