System Update: a very obscure message re grub
During the system update of a fresh installation (through wubi) of 10.04, the following message is displayed (next to a checkbox)
"Continue without installing grub?"
This is the worst type of message to a user:
1. Grub was already installed, so "Continue installing" is incorrect.
2. I checked the checkbox, expecting no updating of grub menu, but grub was updated. what is the effect of the checkbox?
3. A checkbox as an answer to a negative question is a very poor choice for an answer.
This raises two issues:
First, I think that an end-user should not be bothered with this issue at all: grub update should be the rule, with the menu displaying only the latest version of the kernel.
Second, if Ubuntu want the end-user to be aware of this update and keep a history of kernels, then the process should display a much clearer message:
"Add the new kernel to Grub menu (will be added at the top)?", and give the user the opportunity to reply Yes or No.
