> > I'm still unclear on the difference in expected results for the ''Skip
bootloader'' and the ''update bootloader'' test case. When a new kernel
package is installed during the upgrade, it will run grubby (see the
%script of the kernel rpm) and modify grub.conf. When we choose ''Skip
bootloader'', does that mean that anaconda '''will not''' write a new
bootloader configuration and '''will not''' run grub-install, but
'''will''' update the existing grub.conf when the new kernel is installed?

Thanks clumens, Then is there any way to test the difference between
“update” and "skip" bootloader? The existing
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Update_Bootloader
update bootloader] test has the same results no matter one chooses update
or skip bootloader.
