Bug Description

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

 Use Kubuntu 7.0.4 installation disk. Attempt to install Kubuntu on say, the 3rd primary partition. When you get to final option screen titled "Ready to Install", click on the advanced button to try to force grub to install on the 3rd primary partition as opposed to overwriting the MBR. Help string i n this dialog is a place marker which was never updated in the final release with useful information.

Right now my amd64 box looks like this:

Primary partition 1: Windows XP
Primary partition 2: Debian Sid
Primary partition 3: Kubuntu Gutsy
Logical partition 1: openSUSE
Logical partition 2: Fedora
Logical partition 3: Edubuntu

I had no problems installing any of these systems whatsoever. I have never seen this help dialog either. Are you still experiencing this? If so anything else you can add that might help me try to reproduce this? Thanks!

Changed in kubuntu-meta:
