Miles, I'm running the Debian installer from a Debian Live USB. I don't try to
install GRUB. The Debian installer does it. I don't provide command-line
switches. The Debian installer provides whatever command-line switches it deems
appropriate in its call. How are the partitions mounted at the time? I'd have
to ask the person who wrote the installer. I have no way of knowing the answer
to these questions. The installer takes over the whole screen, so even if I
knew how to make the queries you suggest, I couldn't do it. You think I'm
simply being an ass. The problem is, you have not done what I need to do, so
you can't provide help. So stop trying to provide help and stop blaming me.
I'd like to point out, for the benefit of those on this list and those
who might read this thread in the future, that Mark is attempting to
install Debian from a Debian Live USB. That is a detail that escaped me
until now.
Thank you, Rob. Yes, I've written that many, many times: the "Debian Live USB".
Hmmm... Not that it makes any difference, but: Two different installers, eh? From a
programming perspective, it would seem so obvious that they *should* be the same code,
that one might easily assume that they *would* be the same code, but I guess not.
