Bug#398175: Failed Boot Loader Installation
I have resolved this problem and it turns out to be entirely my fault.
The PC was set to boot from hdb (no, I don't know how this happened!) whilst
the bootloader was being written to hda.
I suggest you close the bug (or delete it?).
However, for the installation, may I suggest that:
1. When the time comes to install the boot loader, the script should indicate
that LILO is a option which will be offered if the user rejects GRUB.
2. Is it possible to offer the choice of Gnome or KDE at installation time?
This is the third PC I have installed Debian on. While it is not the end of
the world to reconfigure the system a new user coming from Windows will not
know how to do this and may be put off by the Gnome Look and Feel. I know I
was when I first started using Linux.
Apologies for my error.
Regards
David Cefai
