you are right, thanks for the hint. But this information one has to know
before starting installation of Karmic from alternate-CD.

It has been different all the time and you were able to select location
of GRUB also when invoking "normal installation" from the alternate-
CD's. Imagine what would have happened if I had performed that
installation on my working machine with an existing multi-boot
installation.

In my opinion this is still a bug, because it violates the 'Linux
philosophy' to NEVER overwrite existing data without confirmation and
the ability to abort!

So, before automatically writing GRUB into the MBR there should be a big
red warning screen and the ability to abort - or better to ask for an
alternative location.
