Public bug reported:
IMHO the installer, compared to that of something like SuSE, is really
lacking in the areas of partitioning and bootloader. The bootloader
configuration was very unusable. it did not seem to recognize my
existing bootloader (at least if it did it gave no indication of such),
and so I told it not to install grub (since I was concerned about
loosing access to my other distro). I hoped that by choosing "do not
install" it would simply add some lines to the existing grub.
Unfortunately that was not the case and I still needed to boot up SuSE
and manually edit grub. I couldn't find any examples of grub code for
8.10 on the Internet, so I had to make it up. I got somewhat inferior,
yet functional results.
