Well, that it should fail with a nicer error message, true. > when the --readonly flag has been passed to the /hurd/ext2fs.static > module on the grub command line. But in the end, the check is there to see whether the file system is writable. It's not native-install's business to fix up your broken (read-only) system. That's why I asked you to file a bug on the Hurd - probably runsystem should figure out that the user passed --readonly to ext2fs.static for some reason an still make the file system writable. Or at least error out/cleary communicate to the user that their grub setting are not ok. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
