2) Is it possible to alter the 'boot code location' section to:
Boot Code Location / Boot from [ ] Root Partition [ ] Master Boot Record [ ] Custom Boot Partition Partition [ ]
Currently it states for the first two 'Boot from', but that is valid for the custom partition too (my proposal above (and in the bug report)) makes the three options consistent.
I agree we should make this part more clean. In fact it is location where to install grub2 stage1. So I am still fighting what is precise but user friendly label.
OK. Will it possible to have the cleaner UI in 42.3? ;)
3) Root partition: is it possible to list the partition behind the text? When it is e.g.just /dev/sdb6 that should be doable and makes immediately clear which partition is meant.
Well, it is possible, but problem is that we use udev names to prevent change of kernel names, so often device is /dev/disk/by-uuid/a47f29fe-de47-4976-bc54-4dfd30a0cb47 which is too long for this part.
Is there another way to display to the user which partition is Root referring too? Is it e.g. possible to hover over e.g. the word Root or use 'click here for more information', so a window pops up showing the partition.
ok, in fact this section of documentation is wrong as it changed for Leap 42.2 and TW. Now MBR use disk MBR where "/boot" lives. so if "/boot" is on /dev/sdb6, then it install grub2 to /dev/sdb.
I'll open a new bug report for this. I'll let you know the ID. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
