Description Christian Boltz 2006-01-29 19:26:29 UTC 
When doing a fresh install, one can change the bootloader configuration in the expert tab AFAIK.

When installing 10.1 beta2 as an update, I can't change the bootloader configuration - there simply is no button/expoert tab/whatever to do it.

note that there's nothing that lets me change bootloader config...

At this point of the installation, this is intended. You can select `repair system' instead of update to change the grub configuration. I'll redirect it to the maintainer for a comment, could be an idea for an enhancement.
Comment 3 Jiri Srain 2006-07-25 13:06:03 UTC 
Would be a good idea, but unfortunately there is no way to read the data from the system before it gets updated (due to possible incompatibility). Therefore I'm not able to fix it.

Anyway, if the bootloader configuration fails when writing it, YaST offers to modify it (as at this stage of installation, all the needed stuff is already updated).

Sorry, but CANTFIX
