Continuing the saga of the text mode (not expert) upgrade of a Sony Vaio PCG-SR1K from RH7.0+bits+Ximian 1.4... Reached "Checking package dependencies" from "any other partitions to boot" without seeing a "use grub or lilo?" option.
Confirmed; I don't believe a "LILO vs. Grub" option is ever presented in TUI. Since FTP/HTTP require a TUI install, this option really needs to be there.
There's now a boot loader option in tui and also a chance to customize the packages being upgraded in cvs.
