[Bug 690926] Re: Installer forces you to install grub somewhere

[Jan Rathmann]

Since I do ISO testing sometimes, it is impotant for me too that a new Ubuntu installation doesn't replace my bootloader.
Allthough I got used to always start Ubiquity with the '-b' option, I liked the behaviour of previous versions a lot more, where you could just select graphically that Grub shouldn't be installed.

Kind regards,
Jan

Title:
  Installer forces you to install grub somewhere

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Prior to Maverick, the installer had a choice on the last screen,
  under advanced, to either not install grub, or install it somewhere
  other than /dev/sda.  As of Maverick, the choice of where to install
  grub to has been moved to the partitioning screen.  This is nice, but
  there is no option to not install grub at all.  The drop down list of
  locations to install grub to needs to include an option for NONE OF
  THE ABOVE.
