Yes, Nokia Data Gathering did it to me too. The MySQL install script was taking more than 20 minutes and I had enough. I didn't realize it would jam up the boot process if I turned it off. I am irritated that it does since if this were a debian computer, shutting it off during an application installation would not cause it to fail to boot. Of course, if you were installing a kernel or bootloader it might but NOT an application.

I guess I have no choice now, it's been sitting at 3% for quite some time. Anyone know what it is actually doing? Is it trying to complete the aborted installation? Is there no way of telling it to skip it?
