Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>I have installed Debian using each of the last 3 to 4 releases of the new Debian installer. Each of these different installers had the very same problem...installing the Grub bootloader. Each time I choose to install the bootloader on to my root partition (not in the MBR...I already have GRUB in the MBR the way I want it) it gives me an error message that the bootloader install has failed. But I can go back to previous menu and chose to install the bootloader again and this time it works perfectly. It installs to the root partition and generates a perfect bootloader ...defines every OS on all 25 of my partitions. And it also boots fine using the bootloader already installed in the MBR using the 'rootnoverify and chainloader' commands.
I have Debian installed on both partition 7 and 15 using the new installer. I chose the 'unstable' packages option.
