Comment # 2 on bug 1227887 from Volker Kuhlmann
Thanks Stefan.

The "Abort" button seemed the only way to exit the text-base installer. Being
returned to the shell I think is a reasonable expectation?

Otherwise yes shell job control (ctrl-Z) is an alternative however at that
point I wouldn't know whether the yast.ssh process exiting by any means causes
a crash back to linuxrc so abort and ctrl-Z with cleanup (processes, terminal)
seem equally likely to be a dead end.

Suggestion: Add some text like "use shell job control e.g. ctrl-Z to quit if
you intend to restart the installer" in the abort confirmation dialogue.

Uhm no, the ssh server has quit after yast.ssh aborts. Opening a second ssh
session to kill the first yast.ssh so a second one can be started is not
intuitive. Only not running two yast at the same time is intuitive.

Thanks again. Reopening for the suggestion, please close again if you disagree.

My use case for ssh install is that I can do something else while stuff is
being unpacked.
