>Description:
I just tried the installer of NetBSD 6.0_BETA2 for the first time. I'm not sure I am happy with the new menu based configuration of additional items. I always liked the simplicity of the NetBSD installer compared to FreeBSD or Linux. It used to do less (much less), but much better. BTW: That's a change I wouldn't expect between BETA1 and BETA2 and so close to release.

Anyway: When selecting option "e) Enable installation of binary packages", there seems to be no way back, once that option has been selected. I'd like to have a "cancel" function to return to the previous menu without actually changing anything.

 Has anyone fixed this yet? If not, it would be good to get in before -9.

 Just checked 8.0, and even that version has an option "i: Quit
 installing binary pkgs". So please close this PR. Thanks to whoever
 implemented it :)
