How hard would it be to look at the partition table, and if there's a Windows partition there, add (or ask to add) a block to the the LILO or GRUB config to allow it to be booted? It would save the potential new users who are savvy enough to have installed Debian into a separate partition to Windows, but not necessary know how to get their machine to boot into it again after installation. regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
