Bug Description
With the Mint 11 installer on the 'Allocate Drive Space' screen, the 'Device for Bootloader Installation' selection does not include a Null option. I.e. It insists on overwriting the Master Boot Record.
With a multiboot system it is a good idea to have the mbr point to one known system not just the last system installed, which changes or disappears. Debian allows you to generate a grub.cfg in /boot/grub without over-writing the mbr but this is missing in Mint 11.
Not urgent as you can write the mbr to a partition.
Running Mint 11 rc on AMD Athlon II X3 and Gnome
