Subject: [PATCH] installer: allow unattended mode to abort with keypress
Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2025 16:31:57 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251225213157.1219552-1-badrikesh.prusty@siemens.com> (raw)
Add a 5-second countdown before unattended installation starts. Allow
users to abort unattended mode via keypress. Notify all console instances
via a shared file (`/tmp/attended_mode_trigger`) so the abort applies
across all consoles.
