Comment (by clumens):

 > I'm still unclear on the difference in expected results for the ''Skip
 bootloader'' and the ''update bootloader'' test case.  When a new kernel
 package is installed during the upgrade, it will run grubby (see the
 %script of the kernel rpm) and modify grub.conf.  When we choose ''Skip
 bootloader'', does that mean that anaconda '''will not''' write a new
 bootloader configuration and '''will not''' run grub-install, but
 '''will''' update the existing grub.conf when the new kernel is installed?

 Regardless of what option you pick on the bootloader UI, the kernel's
 %post scriptlet will still get run.  So you can't help but get grub-
 install run and grub.conf changed.

 If you select "Skip bootloader", you won't get the screen that allows you
 to setup how the bootloader should be configured, anaconda won't write out
 a bootloader configuration for you, and it will not run whatever program
 installs the bootloader for your platform.  You will, however, still get
 whatever happens when the kernel's %post script runs.

 Does that clear things up a bit?
