Description Steven Mertens 2005-06-20 14:12:51 UTC

If a first install fails or gets interupted somewhere in the middle
the /tmp/compile_output.log gets not cleaned up. This leaves a
dead link on /tmp if the partitions on /mnt/gentoo aren't mounted.
A second install try will log nothing until the partitions are
mounted again.
The attached patch will check if there is a dead link and remove
it. Tested against installer-20050620 snapshot.

I'm not quite sure if it's the right place to do this but it works.
A future enhancement could be calling a method like finishing_cleanup
when a fatal exception occures during install.
