Summary: Boot Loader Setting menu confusing Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: odabrunz@novell.com ReportedBy: agruen@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com
The Boot Loader Installation tab on Boot Loader Settings offers the following options for Boot Loader Location:
[1] Boot from Boot Partition [2] Boot from Master Boot Record [3] Boot from Root Partition [4] Custom Boot Partition (drop-down list)
It is unclear what the options mean in detail, and there is no associated help text in the side pane. In particular, the difference between [1] and [3] will be unclear to many users: which one is the "Boot Partition"?

------- Comment #1 from agruen@novell.com 2006-11-12 12:18 MST ------- It is also confusing (and probably wrong) that the drop-down list of [4] doesn't contain all existing partitions.

------- Comment #2 from jplack@novell.com 2006-11-15 01:53 MST ------- yes: - drop down list is in complete - it should read boot from /boot partition - help is missing but may be too late for 10.2. & translation (the latter is the crucial point) - basically there's still work in progress, stay tuned
