After purchase of a new HPE microserver Gen10 I get the option to install ClearOS.
As a new user of ClearOS, but as long time user of Ubuntu, it looks nice to try this and give it a chance.
So I put an old test HDD in the new microserver and installed it. And positively surprised.
Now I want to install it on new (RAID configured) HDDs and want to perform a manually intervention to set the mounts on the different drives.
I can reinstall ClearOS from the HPE Rapid Setup Software, but the screens to select the language/keyboard, configuration, date/time, ... and the installation destination (and for me the important partitions) are only shown within a second as flickering screens. No possibility to changes any setting. ClearOS installs the same as my first test attempt. It looks like ClearOS installs as an unattended installation with configuration stored from my first test installation.
How can I get the configuration screens to setup my ClearOS server? Or how do I abort this kind of unattended install mode?

How to get the configuration screens (again) at a reinstall of ClearOS on the Microserver Gen10:
The problem is the ks.cfg file loaded at startup of the installation.
When the GRUB screen comes with the ClearOS attended installation option press 'e' to enter/modify the GRUB startup command.
In the GRUB editor remove the option 'inst.ks=...ks.cfg' (I'm sorry, didn't make screen shots for exact text/location).
Then start the command (F10).
Now ClearOS installer starts and you can enter/modify the different parameters. -
