Description Dave Hodgins 2011-04-07 21:48:37 CEST
During installation of alpha 2, I was given the choice of upgrading Mandriva
2010.2 on sda14, or the one on sdb1.

During installation of beta 1, I was only shown the option of Upgrading Mandriva
2010.2, without the partition id shown.

I selected upgrade, thinking perhaps the installer had been changed to ask which
copy to upgrade, after the initial upgrade selection.

Of course, at that point I was interrupted by a phone call.  When I returned, I
realized it was updating my primary Mandriva system on sda14, instead of the
backup copy I intended to upgrade on sdb1.

I later realized I'd forgotten to replace the alpha 2 on sdb1 with a copy of
Mandriva.

Please always show the partition, even if only one copy of Mandriva is found.

Also, please show upgrade of previous Mageia install, if it is detected.  That
will be needed for releases after the first release anyway.
