Thinking something like: * *maybe* a debconf Q in grub to ask "do you want me to look for other OSes?" * we can set that if we find what looks like other OSes in d-i * and also check on upgrades - if we have other OSes listed in the current grub config Otherwise we *are* going to get panicky Windows users using d-i or upgrading and "losing" their Windows installation. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com < liw> everything I know about UK hotels I learned from "Fawlty Towers"
