Bootloader: installing (a modified) grub on MBR sounds already a little invasive. I suggest leaving Windows' bootloader in place, which is also pretty easy to configure in order to chainload for instance grldr (grub for Windows). --TormodVolden
Topologilinux DOES use GRLDR, so it's not going to be writing to the MBR. See here: http://topologi-linux.sourceforge.net/index.php?menu=7 I've updated the page to clarify that GRLDR is being used.--GezaKovacs
- Using bittorrent might not be a good idea. A lot of users at home are behind a router which will severely degrade download speeds if not specifically configured for bittorrent. Also at many colleges and on a few ISPs bittorrent traffic is blocked all together making it impossible to use altogether.
Yes, we'll hopefully have it also available for download via http once we find a good mirror. I just made a sourceforge page for this project, and it is pending approval. Once it is approved, we will hopefully be able to host the files on sourceforge. --GezaKovacs
Please make sure that the installer makes it clear that Canonical cannot support the result of using this installer. (We've had installer bugs in the past that required workarounds in the distribution, so this is a serious concern.) Creating /var/log/installer/version with the name and version of this installer (as Ubiquity does) would be appropriate. --ColinWatson
