The last time I checked, CentOS/RH/Fedora don't allow installing a |
| 13 |
bootloader to a partition. At least I _think_ they don't allow it. I |
| 14 |
find the installer completely baffling. I've done at least half-dozen |
| 15 |
installs in the past year or two, and I still find the installer |
| 16 |
impossible to fathom. |

Though many things about Ubuntu don't agree with me, at least the |
| 19 |
installer makes some sort of sense. |
