Description Klaus Kämpf 2013-09-25 10:22:23 UTC 
Observed behavior:
- run yast bootloader
- press F10 'Ok'
- system installs 'ELILO'

Expected behavior:
- run yast bootloader
- press F10 'Ok'
- back to shell prompt


Rule of thumb: Don't change the system if it's not user-initiated.

Well, this there is different rule for booting. You cannot be sure that it really boots, so for safety write don't settings. If user do not want to modify system, he still can use cancel or break button. We already discussed it in past with our designers.
