Hi Jozef,

There are very rare case, where I like the company with the red hats,
but installation of bootloader and boot record in their case is really
simple and I never was afterwards surprised.
I think, that a user, who selects installation of the bootrecord to the
boot partition knows or should know what he is doing, and that some
manual interaction might be needed to boot the just installed system.

In case of dual boot with MS I know a lot of people, which do not like
to boot a windows via linux, even it might be very tricky to boot a linux
with the NT loader. ( Windows on disk1, linux on disk#n (n != 1 )

But as you said, the UI will be more userfriendly in the future.
So I have some hope, and please do not forget the people with the dual boot.

I think we can close now this incident and look forward to openSUSE 11.2
