Most times I would agree with this. However, more than one person on
this list has mentioned that they *cannot* boot with Grub on their
system, so the initial Grub install would render their system useless
unless they had some kind of non-Grub bootable disk laying around.
This is one of those circumstances where it would make life a lot easier
to just have it as a selectable option. Maybe even one that shows up
under an advanced options menu?
