ABSTRACT:
An installation of a new operating system on a data processing system can be aborted, wherein an old operating system, which is already resident on the data processing system, can be reused. During the installation of the new operating system, temporary files of the new operating system are built on the data processing system, based on information provided by a user. This information may be provided by voice input. After building the temporary files, the user is given an opportunity to abort the installation. If the user elects to abort the installation, then the temporary files of the new operating system are deleted and use of the old operating system continues. If the user elects to continue with the installation, then the new operating system is installed onto the data processing system.
