------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-10 14:40 ------- DrakX detected the dumb partition chooser on hda. How do you boot linux when the bootloader is installed on hda5? using the NT bootloader that is on hda1? What i could do is: - when you click on the bootloader entry in summary - you can choose to install on hda5 - and in that case i restore hda Another solution is that the bootloader is installed after the summary, so that you can change the default choice before anything is written on hda. But that solution is more dangerous in case of crash during install (system won't be bootable, needing to upgrade it somehow). If you want this, try to persuade me to do so... ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: Madnrake 9.1 Beta 3 During installation the bootloader is installed on the MBR of /dev/hda WITHOUT confirmation, overwriting the installed bootloader (in my case; Windows XP). The user is not able to prevent this, loosing the original bootloader in the process. The bootloader should, like in prevous versions, always offer the possibility to install on the boot partition (/dev/hda[number]). My HDD partitioning scheme on /dev/hda /dev/hda1 - WInXP NTFS /dev/hda5 - Mdk 9.1 Ext3 /dev/hda6 - Linux swap
