This has come up from time to time. One answer is that if we don't detect something that looks like an MBR and we're doing this (or any install /boot partition type installs), we should overwrite with a "real" MBR. The problem is that this could trample over some other boot loaders which has been something we haven't been willing to do in the past. Maybe we should pop up a warning and default to doing so, but give a way out if the user knows that they have a valid reason. Even though I hate those sorts of things :/ Jeremy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
