(00:27:50) xivulon: slangasek: actually the fix to 364166 is not that simple, the installation folder is hardcoded at compile time into the embedded menu.lst (I was planning to move to grub2 and did not change that)
(00:28:22) xivulon: so I have 3 options: A) ask the user (which will be untraslated) B) rename the existing dir without asking C) leave things as they are
(00:29:24) slangasek: xivulon: C) is understandably ugly, but it also lets us avoid churn on the desktop CDs; what do you think about putting this in the release notes?
(00:31:34) xivulon: as mentioned this was probably an issue for a long time, but I only received the first (rightful) complaint toady, I can live with that
(00:32:18) xivulon: A should be a fairly safe fix, I simply quit with an error message, I can commit that and we only add it to the CD if you need to respin for some other reason
(00:32:47) slangasek: xivulon: that seems reasonable
(00:33:40) xivulon: I will add the above to the bug for reference
