Description Marja Van Waes 2015-11-29 10:53:28 CET 
About all Live isos from Mon Nov 23 16:00:00 CET 2015


When installing from a LiveDVD and selecting Grub2 as bootloader. it fails with the message 

  Some requested packages cannot be installed
  grub2-2.02-0.git10101.2.mga6.x86_64 (due to unsatisfied grub2-
  common[== 2.0.2-0.git10101.2.mga6])
 

However, it succeeds when adding a mirror in Live mode and then installing.

There are no Grub2 packages on the iso, but only Grub is there:

they are not listed in *.lst as they are in not installed in live mode, only provided in "Live Core" media to be available if people want it
