Comment 7 for bug 173659

Evan,

If you loopinstall inside linux, it will use /loopinstallation/disks/boot as /boot when you are within the loopinstallation. Then the user will have to add an option to their regular grub pointing at /loopinstallation/disks/boot/grub/menu.lst. I did not test this configuration, but I assume that is what should happen. Hence I do not see how the patch is problematic for linux based loopinstallations.

Basically the /boot folder of a loopinstallation is always separate from the user regular /boot folder, and a menu item in their regular bootloader will redirect to the loopinstallation boot menu. This is basically the same behaviour whether you use windows or linux.
