Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or something else?

Can you reproduce this with the final Feisty release?

Could you please attach /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman to this bug, following the directions in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs? Thanks in advance.

This is still the case for Hardy Alpha1 Kubuntu Live-CD.

It refers to the widget popping up when the advanced button is clicked in the last step of the installation. It is possible to (un)check the installation of the bootloader. After this there is the comment "Help for grub device selection goes here". After that the place for the boot loader can be defined.

It is basically just a "placeholder" text for the real help text that might not have been written yet.

I have not tested if the same text is also in the other CDs (i.e. Ubuntu and Xubuntu etc.), however, I would expect it to be. If not the text from there could be used.
