From memory though, selecting the installer location and bootloader location are easily accomplished via the normal installer. As for the 12.04.2 thing, this is just an indication that it's the point 2 release of 12.04, basically just snapshotting 12.04 with all the upgrades at a certain point in time saving you having to download a bunch more data. For those of you still in the Windows world it's essentially equivalent to a service pack.<br clear="all">
