[Bug 876806] Re: Ubuntu 11.10 installer crashes on GRUB install

[Kurulkai]

am new to Linux and got no clue what's going on.  at least, when
installing OSX, it fucking works!  even Windows manages to install
itself, and that's saying something. definitely Linux still not making
the OS easy enough for the noobs. how many years has it been now? right.
