Comment 29 for bug 527401

moreover, the "Rescue/repair" option on the server disk is buggy.

1. Asks the name of the system
2. Asks to select a timezone from a mile-long list
3. Suggests to select a root filesystem, with no apparent effect
4. When you pick up "install grub" it leads you through the whole disk partitioning

Bottom line: avoid Ubuntu at all costs
