Would it be ok to have a separate "Quit" button and leave the "Install"
one disabled but visible? This would make it clear that there is
something to do to make the button enabled, and you're not just failing
to find the way to trigger the next screen, which could be some
non-obvious operation (do I need to double click the disc? do I need to
press enter?).
