2007-04-25 23:57:02 Matthew Paul Thomas description There are several places in the installer where "Go Back" does not go back to the previous step. One is in the very first screen, "Choose Language", where "Go Back" does not take you back to the initial installer prompt, but instead shows a menu you haven't seen before, listing possible steps (including checking the integrity of the installer CD). Another is in the "Select a keyboard layout" screen, where "Go Back" does not take you back to the "Choose your location" screen, but instead takes you to the "Choose a language" screen. (Indeed it seems impossible to return to the "Choose your location" screen after seeing it once.) As a short-term fix for these problems, I suggest renaming "Go Back" to "Other Steps". There are several places in the installer where "Go Back" does not go back to the previous step. One is in the very first screen, "Choose Language", where "Go Back" does not take you back to the initial installer prompt, but instead shows a menu you haven't seen before, listing possible steps (including checking the integrity of the installer CD). Another is in the "Select a keyboard layout" screen, where "Go Back" does not take you back to the "Choose your location" screen, but instead takes you to the "Choose a language" screen. (Indeed it seems impossible to return to the "Choose your location" screen after seeing it once.)
