Safety install for prox v 8.2

[Docop2]

I was something i see long time ago, but after spending few day to find out backup for a system.. i have a pretty easy suggestion for the next version of prox.

While even MsDos v5 and win.xx do show a pop up, simple message as : are you sure and your disk will be erased, this is not the case for proxmox. If you install, select the disk, select network, put password and hit next: the install start right away. No confirmation of what will happen.

1- as if you select the wrong network, you have to go edit the gateway.. dns to be able to install something else. While this is good to not update a server and have it working perfectly.. having internet is needed as many tool are not available .. ethtool, iperf3, ntfs..
2- If you select the wrong hdd you are dead. This will format directly and whithout telling you. Then after it's just pain and time wasting to re-install and if you do not have all system dump.. bit problematic.

Solution suggestion: for the next iso: simply have a summary page of : you are using xy network and the installer will destroy this whole xyz disk. And a : Are you sure ?

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean.

Solution suggestion: for the next iso: simply have a summary page of : you are using xy network and the installer will destroy this whole xyz disk.

That is already in place. At the end of all the installer steps, a summary is displayed with all selected options (including disks and network!) and there you have to explicitly hit install.

What ISO did you use to install?
