           Summary: Selecting "Parallel install" when no OSes are installed
                    severely confuses installer
           Product: Ark Linux
           Version: 1.0 alpha6
          Platform: pentium3 (PC, Intel)
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: High
          Priority: Overall Usability
         Component: Installer
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

Description of Problem: If you have a disk(s) that have no OS installed and 
click on the Parallel Installation option, the installer goes out to lunch, and 
offers no way to recover or re-start (other than cycling power and trying it 
again).

This corner-case should be detected since novice installers may not even 
understand what's required/done and should have the ability to have a "oops, I 
pressed the wrong button" path so that they don't have to reboot to try to re-
install.

Personally, I think this is high priority; feel free to downgrade, however.
