Installation without a bootloader in LM19
Does anyone know if running ubiquity -r will install LM19 without the bootloader as it did in previous versions ?

I have installed X- and K- ubuntu 18.04 on which LM 19 is based without a bootloader by running
ubiquity -b
in a terminal.Re: Installation without a bootloader in LM19
It's quite easy to modify the Live session so that attempts to install GRUB fail quietly...
...for example, replaces two important GRUB command binaries with copies of the do-nothing command true.
Code: Select all
sudo cp /bin/true /usr/sbin/grub-install
sudo cp /bin/true /usr/sbin/update-grub
