Now that EXT3 is the default FS, if during formatting you notice, that you
forgot to change the FS to a better filesystem, you can not abort the slow EXT3
formatting. There is a button to abort, but it does not work.
Only after the packages are beginning to be installed, you can abort the
installation. But aborting the installation makes you lose all the software
choices, as it switches to text based installation, with a wrong message:
"an error occured during installation", when in fact the installation was
aborted, which is not an error, but a valid choice.
It would be much better, if the installation program would allow you to go back
to  change your partitioning or package choice, instead of forcing you to do
the whole installation from the beginning.
