Description Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-28 17:10:28 CET

Hello, currently in the Live, grub2 is suggested as default when it's grub using classical install. (With a new and clean Virtual Drive)

I don't understand the sentence "thus fixing detecting grub2 if there's a remaining grub-legacy signature" in the commit http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft?view=revision&revision=7414
but reverting to the previous one: http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/bootloader.pm?r1=6649&r2=6650&pathrev=6650
make draklive-install to suggest grub as default.

This is not really problematic but as it is said everywhere that grub will still stay as default .. :)

The broadcom test isos now have grub2 fixed, and defaults to grub legacy:

NOTE! the isos have "CD" in their name, but most of them are bigger
than 700M so you need a DVD media if you want to burn them,
otherwise I suggest to use a usb stick to boot from, using:

dd if=name_of_iso of=/path/to/usb/stick bs=1M

And to find the isos:

(and soon on any mirror carrying mageia people/tmb/mga3-wl-test/ tree)

And confirming it works with the test iso. 
(but as it was not yet pushed, keeping open)
