Also the help text is missing for the install location which doesn't help a dimwit like me. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Grub allows to install into different locations, why should we limit this? Someone who knows what he's doing is now free to do what he wants, all others should better stay with the proposal, that (almost) guarantees a booting system. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
