Is the any reason to not include grub2 on the install ISO, for those that wish to try it out? Does anyone think we might be pushing it too much seeing as it's still beta status?
I tried it at 12/2008 as a alternative to grub (or isolinux) and found it - hmmm - broken. AFAIK i used the version from extra. It doesn't see any harddrive in my real PCs, but worked in virtualbox. That was the point where i said to myself - better isolinux than grub. I mean this from the point of an install iso bootloader... And grub2 conflicts with grub - so we could not have both "installed" in the live-cd enviroment - or we must modify the packages. If one absolutely needs grub2 in the install process - then IMHO he should download (and maybe -force it) like any other package not on the iso. I think it's not in the state to work as a iso bootloader. If one wan'ts grub2 it should be installed after installation. Gerhard's 2ยข
