The only place I saw it was on the opening screen as the dvd booted the first time, and that was not presented as a click it, yes or no option, just mentioned in the initial boilerplate. So unless it timed out while I was doing other things on this box, and took what it thought was the default action, no, it never asked me. As for the grub screen, IIRC it went from the language and keyboard questions to the clock & then just started doing the install. I certainly didn't tell it where to put grub at any time. So I assumed it was duplicating what was there. And I think it must be the screen blanker asking me for my PW, its kicking in while the package manager is doing its thing. Since I'm the only user, can that be turned off someplace? That could get to be a PIMA. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
