I am going to be getting a Lenevo Thinkcentre A700. I want to leave the Windows on a seperate partion, and LMDE 64 on another. Will the install routine install GRUB and make it dual boot-able with out any problems?

It worked ok on my setup here have LMDE and Windows 7 dual booting.
It's a little tricky getting it make Windows the default at boot though , you have to edit the /etc/defaults/grub.conf file. and then do a update-grub command.

I know the devs are very busy this time of year but it would be a great feature it they could include an app that would allow this to be done easily.
mandrava and PCLinuxOS do that very well.

Just a suggestion.

I am booting LMDE 64, Mint 10, and Windows 7 so yes, it works.

If LMDE boots default, that is just fine with me

It should install and boot just fine.
enjoy

Of course one can always install startupmanger...
I don't why it's just not done as part of the default installation.

Good pointer, that app does everything most folk would want.
Be good if they updated the app to create a rescue CD/DVD rather than the floppy at the moment but a very handy tool.
