Package: debian-installer Version: etch beta3 Priority: wishlist Yodel! Just a quick idea: if the user tells the partitioner to erase and use the whole disk in installation, the question from the boot loader whether it should be put in the MBR could probably be omitted - d-i has control of the whole machine anyway, so no need to be friendly to other boot managers etc. Never looked at the installer up close, so I have no idea how you'd pass the data through, but I think people not familiar with PC internals find that GRUB question one of the more confusing ones asked in a default installation: they have no idea what GRUB is, they don't know where the MBR is plugged into their computer and whether they'll have to rinse it after use etc. cheers -- vbi -- Protect your privacy - encrypt your email: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/intro
