cant do this - install fails
>Description:
When attempting to install via ftp, during the fetch of distributions, there is a problem (caue of problem not relevant). You are then asked if you want to retry the specific distribution. Options are YES and NO. There is no option to give up completely, and therefore you may have to answer NO to this same question more than 10 times, before you can get to (for example) choose to install from CD instead.


>How-To-Repeat:
Pull our your ADSL connection during an ftp based install ;-)
>Fix:
There needs to be a third option on the dialogue that returns you to a much higher level - eg completely restart the install.
