Description Karl Mikaelsson cendio 2013-09-06 15:01:31 CEST
Text mode installation, CentOS 6.4, x86_64.

I assumed that I would be asked if I wanted to install netstat/pgrep/xauth, rather than just assuming that I want that. The next step, the NFS part asks me for permission.

To clarify, this bug is about how tl-setup presents things to the user. Our current design is not to have a question, as these packages are required. But it might not be clear enough what will happen, or how to abort the process.
