How to abort installation of SilverBlue?

Ask Fedora

Probably feeling a bit overconfident after having installed Workstation with some help from MatH and Mark, I thought I would try SilverBlue. Once I hit the installer’s INSTALLATION DESTINATION page, however, I realized I was out of my depth, because I can’t figure out how to proceed with confidence that I won’t wipe out the pre-existing Windoze installation.

Is it possible to abort without damaging the existing Windoze and F42 Workstation installations? Since there is no “Back” button, it seems to me the only option is to power off. As I understand it, nothing’s been written to disk at this stage, but still, it seems risky.

Am I totally screwed, or is there a way out?

You should be OK
Read the very first line on that screen. They will be left untouched until you click...

Tell it politely that you are no longer interested and turn off the PC :slight_smile:

Thank you, both. The the old power-off solution worked just fine.

You can mark the little checkbox under the replies as the ‘solution’ when you are satisfied.

It’s always nice to have a thank you after the help though too (as you have done).

Welcome to Fedora, glad to have you here Ken.
