Description Adam Williamson 2013-05-14 05:37:41 UTC 
In F18, if you go to the "Full disk summary and bootloader..." screen and select the disk that is currently set as the bootloader target, the "Set as Boot Device" button turns into a "Do not install bootloader" button that lets you not install a bootloader at all. In F19, that does not happen. The button still reads "Set as bootloader device". (And if you click it, anaconda crashes: #962628).
Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2013-05-14 05:38:32 UTC 
Proposing as an FE, we certainly want this option present and testable in Beta.
Comment 2 Clyde E. Kunkel 2013-05-15 22:23:24 UTC 
Please.  After reviewing the blocker meeting minutes and seeing this, I cancelled one of my tests of RC4 since I would have needed to "Do not install bootloader."

Thanks.

Discussed at 2013-05-15 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-15/f19beta-blocker-review-6.2013-05-15-16.02.html . Accepted as a freeze exception issue - this would probably be a final blocker, and we definitely would like to get the option back for Beta release for testing. Its absence has already been noted in the forums.

Verified fixed in RC3.

And 19.30 is stable, so closed.
