Comment 10 for bug 690926

Phillip,

If you press Try Ubuntu, you can then open a terminal and launch ubiquity with the -b flag set.

Just because a particular bit of UI existed in the past is not sufficient reason alone for it to exist today. Part of the design goal of the desktop CD installer is to be simple, only do what it absolutely must, then get out of the way. If you need more flexibility than what it offers, please use the alternate CD. Though I must point out that this option did not go away, it's simply exposed in a different way.

If you find my response insufficient, can you please cite a sufficiently large use case where someone would be familiar enough with bootloaders to know that they did not need one, but not familiar enough with the terminal to use it?
