------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-11 06:00 ------- I use IBM Boot Manager. When I want Linux, IBM BM loads Grub from /dev/xdx#. I never need LILO, and I never need anything written to the MBR on the boot disk without explicitly choosing for that to happen. No installer should ever write anything to the MBR unless it is very sure it is necessary, which is not particularly likely on a system with lots of partitions and active partition(s) that are not Linux native types. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Madnrake 9.1 Beta 3 During installation the bootloader is installed on the MBR of /dev/hda WITHOUT confirmation, overwriting the installed bootloader (in my case; Windows XP). The user is not able to prevent this, loosing the original bootloader in the process. The bootloader should, like in prevous versions, always offer the possibility to install on the boot partition (/dev/hda[number]). My HDD partitioning scheme on /dev/hda /dev/hda1 - WInXP NTFS /dev/hda5 - Mdk 9.1 Ext3 /dev/hda6 - Linux swap
