I'm sorry. I mailed that in the heat of the moment. I hope you can understand how I felt when I saw grub installing itself on my MBR. My machine is heavily tweaked and having grub replaced on the MBR without asking was just......arrrrgh. Especially since I carefully read the installer instructions to make sure that there was an option to avoid that.
I have installed all sorts of alphas and betas and rcs from Mandriva and Ubuntu and Fedora and Debian and SUSE and have NEVER seen this before, never. Messing with the MBR without asking or giving an opt-out is just a huge no-no. Anyway, it would not even boot. Same problem with the rt kernel in Ubuntu 9.04. I am done with all this crap. Back to Debian, roll my own kernel..
