You're looking for https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/grub-installer/ - that matches up with the grub-installer directory in what Andy was looking at. "installer-team" in salsa is the primary location for most debian installer packages. In terms of the messages you might see during installation, look in the "templates" or "templates.pot" files. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com “Changing random stuff until your program works is bad coding practice, but if you do it fast enough it’s Machine Learning.” -- https://twitter.com/manisha72617183
