Bug#565938: debian-installer: provide option to skip step(s) in interactive interface



Package: debian-installer
Version: 20091215
Severity: wishlist


It would be nice to be able to skip certain steps in d-i without
having to go to the main menu and invoke the individual other steps
manually then.

I'm well aware of preseeding options like "d-i passwd/make-user
boolean false" but it would be nice to be able to skip e.g. the user
account creation within its *interactive* interface during runtime
as well.

In this particular situation I had to set up a system without any
(non-root) local users (they're configured via LDAP later on) but
wanted to run through all other steps of d-i. An additional "skip"
button in the dialogs where it could make sense to just skip it
would be nice-to-have from a user [interface] POV.

regards,
