Bug Description

In the summary it is possible to change the disc that grub is going to be installed to.
Now it's written like this(html syntax):
GRUB will be installed to <clickable_link>(hd0)</clickable_link>

problems:
- the clickable link should be more descriptive. eg.: ...[HD_name] (<clickable_link>change</clickable_link>)
- Harddisk name should be the actual harddisk name, like "Maxtor 6E040L0"
- newbies doesn't know GRUB. Maybe it should say "Bootloader (GRUB)" or just "Bootloader"
- The string is the only thing in the install wizard that is not translated to danish (is it possible or are the danish translators just lazy?)

So the final result would be something like:

Bootloader will be installed to Maxtor 6E040L0 (<clickable_link>change</clickable_link>)

  * Depend on python-gtk2 (>= 2.10) for gtk.LinkButton.
  * Move GRUB configuration to a new Advanced... dialog, getting rid of the
    poor UI on the summary page (LP: #63073).
  * Add a popularity-contest participation checkbox to the advanced dialog
    (LP: #55637).
  * Reset hostname_edited (so that it will be automatically generated again)
    if the hostname entry box is emptied.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup 1.13ubuntu4.
  * Track console-setup 1.13ubuntu4 changes by generating and using
    MyKeyboardNames.pl based on xkb-data, which is more up to date than
    KeyboardNames.pl.
