Grub partition selection

[rshol]

Installing 10.10 RC dual boot with Win7. Is there no place in the installer to specify where Grub will be installed? I don't want it installed in the MBR I want it in the partition with / (I usually only create two partitions for Linux / and swap). I prefer to chain load grub from my windows bootloader.

The choice for grub placement is at the bottom of the first partitioning window in the install.

Are you able to chainload grub2, without a 3rd party helper like easbcd2

No I will be using easybcd to chainload. Thanks for the information.

Cool, I just didn't want to miss any different methods.

You can have windows chain load grub2 the same way it chain loads anything: you copy the boot sector to a file and add an entry to boot.ini to chain load that file.
