Everything runs fine, good work! Now when I come to "Installation Overview" I have to configure the boot loader to be installed to /dev/sdc's master boot record. So I go to the screen "Boot Loader Settings" - "Boot Loader Installation". Again, I want to write the boot loader to /dev/sdc's master boot record, but I cannot select this, as I get the choice to: * Boot from Master Boot Record -> which Master Boot Record? * Boot from Root Partition * Custom Boot Partition this choice is unintelligible for me - I do not understand how to use it for installing SUSE to a USB disk. But - everything else is done! Your installer is super, your modules are there... Please adapt this menu. I would do this by giving a choice which MBR to write: The MBR of /dev/sda, /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to install SUSE 11.4 to a USB disk incl. bootloader installation -- 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.
