I am against that. But I would love to have an extra button in the 
Installer for installing the boot menu, besides the DriveSetup button. So 
when Windows overwrote the MBR again, you can start from the CD and do 
nothing else than reinstalling the boot menu. With BeOS/ZETA, you have to 
know the magic shortcut to start a Terminal (hey, a Terminal button too, 
please - better yet, a "Start the Desktop" button), and know to type 
"bootman" for rescue.

Best regards,
