Once the grub loader is installed you never have this problem, because grub configs are separate from the loader. If your config is hosed you can fix it at boot time by editing the kernel boot arguments, changing the initrd path, etc, etc. But sure, if you abort your installation before the boot loader has been written to disk, you're in a tricky situation. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
