No, Grub was included in the betas, I don't know if it was an option with "recomended" install but I used it every time with "expert" install > Also, it looks like they completely re-vamped bootdrake making it > completely worthless.

Yes ,if it isn't an option during "recomended" install just use DrakConf to configure your bootloader post install, Grub & Lilo are there (also Aurora is in there), if you are using a beta, the boot options in DrakConf don't work but it is straightforward to resolve:- Download (I got mine from rpmfind.net) the latest versions of DrakConf and it's dependencies which are:- drakfont drakfloppy harddrake drakxtools drakxtools-newt upgrade these first, then upgrade DrakConf, it's straightforward as they are rpms
