Previously, I tried clicking the box (unchecking the option to install grub) and it failed miserably (same problem as before). Now I just need to import my other grub lines and I'll be in good shape. I do recommend changing the install program to allow installing to a partition, or else make a way to reinstall grub (this last part might already be possible from Dom0). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Maybe that wiped out some Xen stuff that was in Qubes' grub setting. Is there a way to write Qubes' grub to a partition instead of the MBR? One of my biggest beefs with Anaconda is that it just overwrites your MBR and doesn't ask you where you want it. I would prefer to install any distro's grub to a partition and chainload it, that way, booting another linux distribution and updating a kernel doesn't wipe out any established boot settings. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
