    Test Case Procedure
    -----------------------
    For step 7, there is no continue button, but rather an "Install now" button which takes you to "Choose a security key:" with "Install now" disabled.
    For step 11, If there is one disk in the system the screen does not advance, but instead shows a dialogue box confirming that changes can be written to disk which requires "Continue" to be clicked in order to advance to step 13. Perhaps this should be an extra step between 10 and 11. Aditionally, I think step 11 title needs to be rewritten as it is a bit confusing at the moment.

    Critical bug
    -----------------------
    Installation works as expected. Only problem is after installation, the graphical plymouth fails to capture the password and the user will be unable to proceed. Sometimes when booting up and text-based plymouth is presented, the password input is accepted and proceeds to desktop.
