Do we know rough estimation of how many people use custom boot loader? Is more or less than e.g. 1 in 100? Would any of secondary arches benefit from this or somehow be impacted? ARM/U-boot etc.? That could drive the priority. Thank you -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165282 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1165282#c4 --- Comment #4 from Seymour Metz --- I have no handle on the numbers, but anybody running OS/2, eCS or ArcaOS is likely to need grub in a PBR. Unless and until there is an option to write the loader into the PBR of the logical drive instead of into the PBR of the extended logical partition, they are likely to need custom boot. I'm sorry that I don't have the actual numbers. HTH. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Try to think out of the box, maybe a "list" is not as simple as a "tree" where you can choose from several options for a given disk/partition/...place. This could even be quite dynamic in a way how these items are offered to the user when getting deeper in the selection. Maybe a nice task for UI/UX cooperation? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
