Not that one specifically. I recently was playing with a web page I found that used the Debian netinst for this, warning don't let it install grub on the internal drive! I could find no way to tell the installer that. Oh well. Blowing away your boot loader means you get to test your recovery system, yes? :-) [And I now have the finely tailored system I should have had if I'd had the time to do it when I started all of this.] -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
