Mmm.... what's a pain!!!. Why I download array-6 instead current ;-)

Thanks for touch that. I read your reference and I don't understand it at all. 
This means that until the user press "Ok" in the dialog, the CD does NOT fell 
out onto the floor (now I know how say you in english un-eject ;-)). Is it 
true?. Do I understand it wright?

Okay. I think that if you change this dialog and you let (more) clear that 
after reboot configuration of the system will have take place (and it spends 
several minutes), then all will be fine.

I  supposed that, but I was not sure. So the "only" good solution is to warn, 
somehow, the final user.
