Comments/Problems:
I chose Grub2, it said "You chose not to install Grub to any devices"
before giving me a chance to make any such choice. <Go Back> just
brings up the same message. <No> in response to "Continue without
installing Grub" does the same. Then when I answered <Yes> it found the
existing OSes and offered to include them in the Grub setup.
Installation completed and rebooted, giving a pretty Grub 2 screen with
my new Debian system, but no mention of the previously installed OSes.
I had to run os-prober and update-grub manually to get access to the
existing OSes, but after that it was fine.
cheers
Chris
