The Desktop CD currently does not offer a chance to choose where to
install Grub. To choose where to install Grub, you'll have to use the
Alternate CD.

However, according to this thread
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/020102.html>,
an advanced options button will be provided somewhere in the graphic
installer.

It also made the "Access IBM" button of ThinkPads much less useful,
because it requires a special MBR to work properly.
