I have to agree with Erick that the suggestion "if in doubt select all" is an incorrect direction to give and is causing various degrees of problems for many. Especially those with Windows and are installing grub to many partitions rather than just to the MBR of their first boot hard drive. I was taken aback when this was offered to me upon a fresh install of Lucid, luckily I knew better because of experience with grub2, and I knew exactly where I wanted grub installed. I see better direction and advice within the installer as one possible solution for this serious bug. The inexperienced user is going to say "OK when in doubt, go for all" because that is what the installer is telling them to do.
