Well, it asks the question in two stages. The first question grub-installer asks (in any mode) is "do you want to install GRUB in the MBR of the first hard disk in your system". If you answer 'no', you will be asked to provide the partition grub should use instead (either in (hdx,x) or /dev/[hs]dn notation). > > > Just tried expert install; I see can you can choose GRUB or Lilo, > > except I never made it that far - for some reason, the expert > > install cannot start the PCMCIA card services, which is odd, > > because the automated install does so just fine. There is absolutely no reason for the installer to behave any differently in an expert installation than in a default installation if accept the default answers that are provided for questions not asked in a default installation.
