Since all major OSes are detectable, if an OS is not found, doesn't that indicate that the user is skilled enough to be able to reinstate it later on? Alternatively, we could check for the "Erase entire hard drive" debconf question from partman. If that's selected and there's only one hard drive, then I guess it's safe to keep claiming the whole drive for Debian from grub-installer too. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
