[Bug 726836] installing the grub /package/ installs the bootloader. Please don't do that!

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726836 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726836#c2 --- Comment #2 from Torsten Duwe 2011-10-31 09:00:58 UTC --- Correct. While I agree that Jon's experience is rather unpleasant, the behaviour is IMHO correct. The vast majority of users have no idea about the difference between a binary package and the glue that sticks beneath the bottom of the file system to make it boot; they'll just "update the boot loader". OTOH, a working grub2 in the system should somehow signal its ancestor that it is not actively needed any more. Maybe the config file should be renamed to /etc/grub2.conf. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
