|| Hi,
|| Sorry for the delay.
|| I know that you can put grub on a Patition Boot Sector during
|| the normal (non-live) installer. It has been possible for all
|| of the Scientific Linux's.
|| I still haven't had a chance to look at the live installer

Unfortunately,
the SL 52 I386 DVD:
ftp://ftp.duth.gr/pub/scientific/52/iso/i386/SL-52-062608-i386-DVD.iso
4,196,836 KB 27/6/2008 07:11:00 am
also gives just the same two choices:
------------------------------------------------------
(o) The GRUB boot loader will be installed on /dev/sda
( ) No boot loader will be installed
------------------------------------------------------
Any other suggestion, please?
