See thread "install guide notes: bootloader" from this list, dated Nov
30th.
I saw and replied to that thread a while ago; it contains no work arounds or alternatives
to what will be the Fedora 18 boot loader options: all or none, also known as wipe out
existing boot loader, or have an unbootable system.
I have no doubt this will be seen as a major regression (one I agree with, but I think how
people should connect the dots ought to be documented). I think work arounds should be
documented, other than telling people to use kickstart.
