Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.58
Severity: minor

Hello,

during installation of a PC from the pre-EFI area I was faced by a
dialog (grub-installer/force-efi-extra-removable) that reads:

	It seems that this computer is configured to boot via EFI, but
	[...]

I'm sure my machine doesn't use EFI and looking into debian-installer's
packages/grub-installer/grub-installer it seems that there is no check
for EFI before the dialog is shown.

That is irritating, so I suggest to either change the wording of the
dialog or only show it if there are really some hints that the current
system uses EFI.

Best regards
Uwe

And thank you for filing these installation bug reports, they have been very 
useful at the time they were filed!
If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing
in recent installation images, please file a new report for that!
