Hi,

I'd like to second Samuel's complaint about the lack of clarity of the upgrade message, particularly

"Also, it is not clear what saying "no" will do. Will it overwrite the
existing installation in the MBR or not?"

It could mean either

the upgrade from grub1 to grub2 will be aborted, and just grub1 will be used

or

grub1 will be summarily tossed, and grub2 will be written to the mbr.

I'm guessing the latter, but I still don't know, and have no obvious way of finding out, as it was not obvious what script was being run. Funnily enough, this message is quoted all over the web, but nobody explains what the 'no' option would do. In any case, the message really should be explicit.

I just did an upgrade from lenny to squeeze, and this was probably the bit that gave me most pause. What is the best way of bringing this to the attention of the people who read installation reports?

                                                          Regards, Faheem
