2009-11-09 20:30:52 razor7 description Binary package hint: grub-installer Hello..boouted from my USB stick with Karmin installed. Everithing worked OK but after an update, gconf windows appeared asking to use the grub.cong file of the package or the installed one...gconf crashed and...GRUB2 got installed to the first disk of the machine, and not to the USB stick...because it was a windows system, and I had not my wXP installation CD, i had to spend 5 hours to find a wXP recovery Console ISO image. I think that this is a serious error, Ubuntu need to ask where the bootloader must be installed if there are more than one disk present!
